Summer Property Intern

Every year, Southwind hires a number of talented and devoted college-aged individuals to help staff its summer programs. Internships usually run from mid-May to mid-August. The summer intern program is an opportunity to grow in fellowship and work alongside Christian peers in a unique environment. Summer internships are paid positions and Christian maturity is required. Previous summer staff experience is desired.
