Summer Interns

Although we just experienced a week of subzero temperatures and the thought of 100 degree days couldn't be further from our minds, we know that summer is still right around the corner. With warmer temperatures on the way, so is our summer internship program.  Not only are we still in need of interns, we are also in need of help funding this program.  Internships here are Casas por Cristo are life-changing and do wonders in building a young person’s leadership skills and their relationship and faith in God.  If you've been an intern, you know all about that!  Having trained interns also allows us to build more homes and reach more people during our busiest season.

Are you interested in becoming an intern or want to help us provide this opportunity for someone else?
Here is a list of our needs for this summer (in order of importance).  Currently, we are planning to hire 7 interns. (The cost below is for the entire summer for all 7 interns)

Scholarships: $9,000
Training (materials to build): $1,000
Training (food/water): $700
Handbooks/supplies: $700
Retreat: $2000

Can you help buffer some of these costs?


If you’d like to give, you can send a check, or even easier, you can donate online at http://www.casasporcristo.org/#/give
Please make a note in the comments box where you’d like your money to go.  (ie. “intern program-training” or “intern program-scholarships”).  Without this note, the money won’t go towards the intern program!


If you are interested in becoming an intern yourself these are the requirements.
- MUST have been on a prior Casas trip
- 20 years old by the start of the internship
- Can commit to the full 3 months of service (May 14th-August 13)
Deadline for applications is Feb 21st.  Applications/reference forms can be downloaded from our website here Internships.


Thank you so much for being a supporter of this ministry and loving what we do!
