Interns also work with StreetLeaders in planning, preparing, and carrying out classroom activities. An additional component of the year-long internship is the academic training offered. UrbanPromise is committed to training our intern staff to be better equipped to both run programs, as well as address a variety of urban issues and problems. The training is offered as weekly classes, in other cities the training will involve guest speakers, and reading discussion groups. In every city though, each intern will be challenged to reflect on their ministry work through an academic lens.
All interns take part in regular weekly devotions, retreats, and conferences.
Interns are also encouraged to become involved in community service outside of UrbanPromise, so as to know the community they are serving in better.
