Just the Facts …

• SUMMIT begins in early/mid-June and concludes in mid-August.

• Team members serve 150 hours over a 10-week period.

• SUMMIT includes working in the community and participating in church mission activities.

• Each intern receives a $2,500 scholarship for successfully completing SUMMIT. Applicants must designate an educational institution to receive the scholarship funds.

How it works …

Participants work at local social service agencies to help people in need in our community. In past years, interns have been placed at agencies such as Habitat for Humanity, Central Iowa Shelter & Services, Children & Families Ministries, Shalom Community Impact Center and DMARC. Every effort is made to match interns with the agencies that best meet their goals.

Interns also assist with 10 hours of church mission activities such as helping with the shelter meals.
