What To Expect

Summer 2024 Internship

Every summer thousands of new freshmen come to UF and begin to make decisions that will set the course for the rest of their lives. Shouldn't someone be there to tell them about Jesus and God's eternal purpose?

The summer internship program with UF Christians on Campus was established for the purpose of equipping students to serve the Lord. Interns work side-by-side with club staff and fellow students during the summer, learning valuable lessons in outreach, coordination and shepherding.
