Thank you for your interest in hosting a Sumer Intern! Your hospitality opens up the opportunity for a young adult to spend the summer learning and growing in their leadership and spiritual development with Citizens.
Hosting an intern is really simple. Each intern is expected to cover their own food and transportation. All they need from you is their own room and access to a kitchen.
They will be arriving the week of May 18th and the internship ends on July 20th.
