DayBreak Kids - Summer Internship Washington DC
DayBreak is looking for individuals who are committed to serving the Lord in the inner-city with time, energy, flexibility, and dedication in our summer internship program. This full time, residential internship is an extraordinary opportunity to gain knowledge of the critical issues that many of our children are facing in the inner-city, as well as develop an increased understanding of missions and ministry. You will be part of a team that will implement a summer program for students grades first through fifth. The DayBreak summer program includes an integrated curriculum of Bible teaching, academic enrichment, the arts, recreation, field trips, and more. Additionally, you will help facilitate mission teams as they serve in Lincoln Heights, as well as assist year round staff with ongoing needs that arise throughout the summer.
DayBreak started in 2001 with a group from the young adult ministry at McLean Bible Church who fell in love with the children and the community of Lincoln Heights. Lincoln Heights is a housing project located in Northeast Washington, DC and is a notorious crime hot spot in the District. Over the last several years, we have worked in conjunction with the housing authority in DC and the resident council in Lincoln Heights to create and run programs that are increasingly impacting the whole family; however, our primary focus remains serving children ages 4-15. This summer, we are implementing an expanded program that will offer students six weeks of full-day activities. We are excited about the increased opportunities to minister to children and families of Lincoln Heights.
Summer interns will receive a $2,000 stipend, are required to raise an additional $2,500 for housing, and may raise an additional $2,000 in personal support if so desired. Housing will be provided.
We are serious about developing you as a leader equipped for ministry. We are committed to your professional development through personal, professional and spiritual interaction with the staff of DayBreak Ministries. The internship begins on June 2nd and ends on August 14th. |
