Build a transformational Summer Internship
Not sure where to start? Think it’s too late?
Our FREE Summer Internship Planner gives you the clarity, structure, and tools you need to make this summer count.
Because the struggle is real
You want to raise up young leaders.
You’ve thought about launching an internship or residency.
But if you’ve asked yourself…
“Is it too late to pull this off?”
“Where do I even begin?”
“Will it really be worth it?”
You’re not alone.
Many leaders feel overwhelmed and never take the first step. Others try—only to end up winging it without a clear plan. Interns show up eager to grow, but often leave unsure of what they actually gained.
You can lead an incredible summer internship—and we’ve made it easy to do just that.
The Summer Internship Planner gives you a done-for-you structure to lead a meaningful, intentional internship—without the overwhelm.
At its core are six essential self-leadership competencies every future leader needs:
Living on Mission
Emotional Intelligence
Team Collaboration
Teachability
Maximizing Energy
Personal Influence
Each module includes built-in content, reflection prompts, and practical assignments to help your interns grow through real ministry experiences—not just theory.
And it doesn’t stop there.
To help you build a fully rounded internship, we also provide ready-to-use options for assignments in five key development areas:
Interviews with ministry leaders
Ministry Development projects
Spiritual Development practices
Stretch Assignments that challenge comfort zones
Theological Study opportunities
These options can be easily plugged into your planner to customize each intern’s experience based on your church’s context and their growth needs—giving you a framework and flexibility.
