2009 Summer Intern, Jesslyn Tenhouse

Stephen Ministries internships are perfect for bright, committed college students who have completed their sophomore year and are eager to earn practical workplace experience in an exciting and challenging, yet kind and supportive atmosphere. Each year a number of top-performing students become part of the Stephen Ministries St. Louis family by participating in a Stephen Ministries internship.

When Can Internships Take Place?

Interns meet regularly with Executive Director, Dr. Kenneth Haugk

Students can participate in our internship programs during the fall, spring, or summer. See the How to Apply page for application deadlines for each period.

Confidence

Interns at Stephen Ministries St. Louis have the perfect opportunity to develop their talents for the business world. "What I didn't expect to get out of this internship is the confidence that I now have in my abilities as a writer, editor, interviewer, and leader in general. That confidence could only come from working with such a supportive, encouraging, uplifting staff." Greg Ingram, Indiana University, 2006

Nice People

Stephen Ministries interns are welcomed as colleagues and treated with kindness and respect. "The people I've been working with are extremely nice. It's been a pleasant experience and a great fit for me." Lauren Grady, Washington University, 2007

A Great Supervisor

Each intern will work closely with an experienced, highly trained supervisor to explore career possibilities. "I really enjoyed working closely with my supervisor; I might be interested in a career like hers someday. Talking to her about her career choices helped me get a better idea of what careers are out there for a writer/editor." Elizabeth Sanders, St. Olaf College, 2008

A Voice

Interns at Stephen Ministries are actively involved in the organization's decision-making processes and regularly participate in management discussions, focus groups, and market research.
