The Center for Faith and Peacemaking is pleased to announce our 2008-09 Internship program!
Internships are for one academic year and may be arranged for field studies or academic credit as allowed by your educational institution.
Our internships are designed with maximum flexibility to empower students to develop and implement their own projects within our program areas. You choose your own hours and learning outcomes; we'll provide you with the tools and connections to get started.
By serving as a CFP intern, you will develop valuable first-hand skills for ministry in today's world. You will also join an exciting and unique network of ecumenical and interfaith colleagues, who will continue to be available to you as you begin your own ministries after graduation. Upon successful completion of an internship program, we will also provide you with references, job referrals, and other resources as you begin your vocations.
