Internship – Digital Mobilization
Missionary Mobilization & Online Community Internship (Remote, Unpaid)
Global City – Advancing mission in emerging culture
Internship Overview
We are seeking a motivated college student to help build and manage a Discord-based online community designed to mobilize, equip, and inspire the next generation of mission catalysts, disciple makers, and mission-minded Christians.
This internship is ideal for a student interested in missions, digital ministry, community building, and online engagement. This opportunity involves creating and launching a platform that has not typically been utilized in missionary mobilization; therefore, they will need to already have experience building and/or growing a discord community. The ideal candidate is capable to developing a vision from scratch to build an online community. The intern will play a key role in shaping how young adults discover, explore, and engage with global mission opportunities both within urban North America and around the world, in a digital-first environment.
