What:
The National Student Leadership post-graduate internship is a nine-month program. Since 2000, this internship has provided an opportunity for college graduates to translate what they’ve learned into their daily lives within the structure of community. There is a great emphasis on living in community and what it teaches about the principles of Jesus including stewardship of finances, service and reconciliation. Interns also help plan and facilitate many of the events around the nation put on by National Student Leadership such as the national forum, state forums, and the National Prayer Breakfast (with student weekend). In addition to these large events, interns travel domestically to various college campuses to encourage other young people in their relationships with God and with each other. In the spring, there is a three-week international trip where interns travel abroad for a diverse and cross-cultural setting. Past countries visited have included South Africa, India, Nepal, Uganda, Lebanon, Russia, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Jordan, Haiti, Ethiopia and Kenya.

When:
The application process begins in the late winter of each year. Six interns are selected for a nine-month term based in Washington, D.C. In the past, there have been approximately four women and four men selected from the pool of outstanding graduating college seniors. The nine-month internship starts in late August and ends in May.
