Service Internships
Open to all sophomore, junior and senior students, this is one of our most popular programs. The program requires students to work 50-100 hours per semester at a local non-profit organization, parish or public school, performing work related to their major or area of professional interest. The Journey Project pays interns $6.50/hour and requires interns to meet in groups of eight to twelve for “reflection sessions.” Under the leadership of a faculty or staff mentor, reflection groups discuss and process their internship experience. The sessions help them extrapolate from their experiences broader issues of justice, faith and values clarification from their experiences.

Interns will also meet bi-weekly in groups of eight to twelve for “reflection sessions.” Under the leadership of a faculty or staff mentor, reflection groups discuss and process their internship experience. The sessions help them extrapolate from their experiences broader issues of justice, faith and values clarification from their experiences.
