Christian internships that connect faith, learning and mission.

Converge Fellowships are personalized Christian internships and faith-based service-learning experiences for college students, young adults and YWAMers. Each Fellow develops a practical project with an approved ministry host, connecting academic study, vocational skills and Christian calling with God’s mission.

How a Converge Fellowship works

  1. Discern. Identify your skills, studies, calling and desired area of service.
  2. Match. Explore a current opportunity or ask us to help identify a suitable host.
  3. Prepare. Complete the application, references, interview and orientation.
  4. Serve. Work with the host, meet with a mentor and complete a defined project.
  5. Reflect. Debrief the experience and document learning and outcomes.

Missions internships for college students and young adults

Each Fellowship is shaped around the participant’s preparation and the host ministry’s real needs. Projects may draw from education, healthcare, business, communications, technology, environmental studies, social services, the arts, sports, ministry or another field.

This faith-based service-learning model combines practical responsibility with mentoring, spiritual formation and guided reflection. Some eligible participants may also complete requirements for a University of the Nations transcript.
