Summer Experiences: CRU – Internship/Service Opportunities
Internship/Service Opportunities
CRU
Life transformation in a Christ-like way, while developing ministry expertise that will benefit students for a lifetime, is what Cru’s Summer Opportunities are designed to accomplish. In each location, students will be living with and participating with 10 to 70 other committed Christian students, who have applied, been accepted, and desire to serve the Lord with the ministry focus of the opportunity they selected. A commitment to growing in one’s Love relationship with the Lord, maturing socially, emotionally, and developing skills to minister to others are core outcomes. With some opportunities, students obtain jobs in the community to enable them to save money for college expenses, while the finances they raise cover the costs of their housing, food, and ministry efforts. At other opportunities in urban areas or in professional offices, your job is to meet the needs of the community or to accomplish the projects assigned to you.
