Fresno Urban Internship

The Fresno Urban Internship (FUI) is a six-week experience in Fresno's poorest neighborhoods. Interns will work side-by-side with a ministry while completing an academic curriculum focusing on biblical themes. Depending on the site, you have an opportunity to see God at work helping at-risk young men find jobs, directing kids clubs, serving women in crisis, and many other things. Click here for an overview of the agencies that we typically partner with. 

Participants contribute approximately 30 hours per week to their agency, five hours per week to internship classes, and 5 hours per week in study. Students live in community together in the Pink House. Participants receive a weekly program stipend to cover meals, transportation costs and incidentals. Arrangements for meals are arrived at by agreement with the other interns.

The overall program is intensive, rigorous, and challenging, as well as joyful and fun.

We ask that students view this as a mission trip and not plan other activities during these six weeks.
