Summer Abiding Fellows is a paid summer leadership development program for rising 10th-12th graders. Join us for 5 weeks of leadership building, service, vocational discernment and fun. Pay is $12/hour. Fellows will have the opportunity to engage in daily faith formation, serve as Summer Camp Counselors and gain valuable work experience. Applications are now open and will be reviewed on a rolling basis until all positions are filled or May 15, which ever comes later. Priority will be given to students who are active - or desire to become active - in the life of Abiding Presence. Graduating seniors are invited to participate in our College-Age Internship Program.

There is some fine print:
Abiding Fellows are expected to voluntarily worship regularly during the summer (i.e., If you are in town on a Sunday morning in June or July, we would like to see you at church!)
We understand vacations happen. We ask you to commit in advance to the program on a weekly basis, which is to say, you will attend all days on the weeks you are interning.
There is no Abiding Fellows July 1-5
If you are under the age of 16 when the internship program begins, you will need to obtain a work permit. This is an easy, online process that we will guide you through.
We want you to want to be here! This program is specifically designed for leadership development and vocational discernment through the lens of faith. It’s also a job, so it will be work. If that excites you – or you have no idea what that means but are willing to come find out – this is the program for you. If your parents are making you do it, this might not be the right fit this summer.
