The Mother Church internship programs

The Mother Church conducts two internship programs each year for college students and recent graduates. The summer program hosts young people from around the world for an 11-week experience in Boston. There is also an eight-week fall program that is online.

Each intern is based in a specific department to gain professional experience related to their field of study. There are also times each week when interns meet together in a group to get an overview of the full range of job types across the organization. These group sessions also provide an opportunity to discuss the purpose and power of church in today’s world and the important role each of us plays in it. For example, interns learn more about Christian Science class instruction, participate in focus groups to provide feedback on new projects, and discuss how to gain confidence in sharing Christian Science with others.
