Internships

Most of our internships are paid. Generally speaking, the education and experience the intern brings with them during the interview process will dictate how much an intern will be paid.

You will work out your office hours with your direct supervisor. Most of our student interns work anywhere from 6-10 hours a week (see job descriptions for specific hours) and there is flexibility (with advance notice) to accommodate school activities and commitments. Student interns need some daytime availability between 9am and 4pm a couple days a week. Our pastoral interns range from 6 hours to 12 hours in most cases. We aim to get them into pastoral counseling meetings between the hours of 4pm and 6pm a couple evenings a week so availability after 4pm a couple of afternoons is needed. Pastoral interns also have 3 hours two Sundays a month for pastoral cohort.

This will depend on the intern role you accept. If you are a pastoral intern or interning within our Crossroads Kids or worship/tech ministry, you can expect some Sunday hours. Even our RUSH student interns have a couple Sunday hours throughout the year when hosting special events for incoming 6th grade students.

While we have an impressive track record of hiring interns (it is one of our favorite ways to locate future staff members!), we unfortunately cannot hire every single intern we bring on our team. You should enter into this internship assuming a future job is NOT guaranteed.

We will provide a computer for you to use during your internship. You will need to have your own cell phone.

At a minimum, we typically want interns to be old enough that they are entering their junior year of high school (or older) and able to drive themselves. You also don't have to be a "traditional student" who is going to college or tech school in order to intern here at Crossroads. (NOTE: We are willing to work with your school to offer you class credit for your internship if that is desired.) If you are past "young adult" age...don't count yourself out from doing an internship! Some of our best employees (including two of our pastors!) started as part-time, unpaid adult interns who were in their 30s, 40s and 50s!

For the 2025/2026 academic school year, we are expecting to offer internships both our Sheboygan and Manitowoc campuses. With this said, most our internships for the upcoming school year are based out of our Sheboygan campus.
