Canada Covenant Internship Program
A 14 Week Internship hosted by churches throughout Canada in partnership with the Canada Covenant.

A second internship can be discussed on a case by case basis.
Expectations of
Host Church
Practical Opportunity
Space within the church ministry life to lead in a meaningful way.
Intern Mentorship & Supervision
An individual committed to joining in the development of that intern alongside the ongoing support of the Canada Covenant team.
Financial Partnership
This is a varied conversation based on each location. Cost of living varies greatly across the country and we believe that the internship should be at a minimum 20 hrs a week.
Ex. Housing can be a manner of financial partnership, provision of funds towards the internship, or extra funds for the extension of hours based on the perceived need for intern role.
