Big Step for Diocesan Youth Ministry

Since 2005 the Diocese of Kansas Youth Program has engaged college students in youth ministry and vocational discernment through our summer internship program. Many of these students are now paid staff members and volunteers in parish youth ministries in our diocese.

Why have a program like this?

We believe this internship is a powerful instrument of spiritual formation as well as a wonderful opportunity for vocational discernment. We need more faithful, committed, and talented leaders in both lay and ordained ministry. This internship seeks to equip and send a young disciple into the “harvest field” of youth ministry.

What does a Youth Ministry Intern Do?
We have outlined the following Goals for the internship program:

The Summer Youth Ministry Intern will:
1. Grow in Relationship with God.
2. Train in Ministry and Life Skills
3. Develop other young leaders
4. Do Ministry

Who is the internship for?

Episcopal college students in the Diocese of Kansas who are interested in youth ministry.
