Experience the most challenging, yet rewarding summer of your life! You will be pushed physically, spiritually, and emotionally. You will leave the island at the end of the summer a deeper Christian, a stronger leader, and a more humble servant. Your understanding of missions in a developing country will be extensive after these two months. You'll return home prepared for broader mission experiences and with a global perspective in your everyday life. As an added benefit, your learning and growing will all take place with a beautiful beach backdrop and a refreshing sea breeze!
What does an intern do?
The intern team is a vital part of our summer ministry, as this is our busiest time of the year for short-term mission trips with ACE. Our interns help lead the American teams, work directly with the Jamaicans, and organize other projects that change from summer to summer depending on the skills you bring to our mission and the needs of the community.
We want to make the most of your God-given talents and interests! You may teach swimming or music lessons, run sports clinics, tutor school children, lead construction crews or teach us all something new. What we really need are individuals who are willing to do whatever, however, whenever. We are looking for interns who are flexible and willing to serve with a positive attitude, putting the mission's needs above their own.
Changing Lives. Transforming Communities.
Come spend the summer on a tropical island, living in a home overlooking the Caribbean Sea, developing significant relationships with your peers all the while meeting hundreds of Christians from all across America! And while you're there, enjoy your off days on some of the world's most beautiful beaches, become a star in the eyes of a young Jamaican child, and return home more fulfilled than ever.
As ACE strives to change lives, we will start with yours, enabling you to change the lives of others. Together, we can and will transform the community of St. Mary, Jamaica!
Dates of our 2012 internship to be announced soon!
The Fine Print:
The cost for the summer is $3500, which includes: Airline ticket up to $500, short-term insurance, food, lodging, transportation, off days, pre-summer training, required reading books and training materials.
We encourage you to raise this money early in the year. Any money you raise above and beyond the cost of the summer will be sent to you at the end of the summer in the form of a stipend.
I-Quest is like a mission “boot camp”, so we have certain expectations and disciplines in place for our interns. Please read carefully and if you do not think you can follow these rules, please do not apply.
*These rules are not in place because of religious beliefs, but rather to be sensitive to the conservative culture in which we are working and to build the discipline of sacrifice within each intern, keeping you focused on the real reason you are there – to serve.
