Internship Program PDF Print E-mail

Contemplatives in Action offers a unique opportunity for people over the age of 18 to engage in both retreat ministry and direct service through the lens of Ignatian Spirituality.  We sponsor two kinds of Internships:

  • Professional Internship Program (flexible 3 months to a year)
  • Summer Internship Program (June 6-July 17, 2010)
Both Internship Programs heavily focus on vocational discernment, community living, justice education and faith development.  Specifically, our programs do the following:
  • Provide an opportunity to pray daily and reflect regularly on personal and organizational vocational discernment
  • Provide inside exposure to the structure, operations and decision processes within a non-profit
  • Coordinate with local agencies to provide personalized and guided projects based on the needs of the community and skills of each intern
  • Provide meaningful work experience which supplements and modifies ideas gained from academic courses and scholarly experiences and interests 
Essentially, our interns 
  • Provide support and care to those invested and involved in the long-tern recovery of New Orleans through local development projects
