The purpose of this internship is to create an opportunity for young single adults from 18-30 years of age to participate in a 2 year program that will give them solid ministry experience in a multi-ethnic urban community, equip them with foundational cross-cultural experiences that will translate into future ministry areas for them, train them for future positions of leadership, and to assist them in acquiring their ordination (for men) or consecration (for women) within the Christian and Missionary Alliance, while at the same time providing for Family Empowerment Centers of Chicago and the community a consistent staffing resource that will take us to the next level in services and effectiveness. We expect to see our current youth programs expand, a mentoring program launched, ESL started, a College and Career outreach begin, and other programs developed as a result of this initiative.
