​Internship

The application process for ​the 2023 internship is now ​closed.

As the Ranch has grown, so has the need for individuals who can serve on a longer, full-time basis. We deeply appreciate those who desire to come and serve alongside our team for an extended period of time. If accepted to our Internship Program, our mission for each individual is to disciple, encourage, and empower them to listen to Jesus and allow God to work in and through them.

Interns are asked to serve in a variety of roles and responsibilities during the season. One of the roles that make interns unique from other volunteers on the Ranch is the opportunity to lead sessions with the children and minister to their families.

 

The morning routine may include one or more of the following activities: ranch maintenance, horsemanship, weekly mentor class, prayer, Bible study, training, office work, etc.  

The afternoon routines may include one or more of the following activities: leading one-on-one mentor sessions with the children, greeting ranch visitors, working in the mercantile, and working alongside other volunteers on ranch maintenance.

Intern Qualifications

An intern must be:

• 18 years of age or older

Intern Application Process

• Applications are made available in the first week of November for the session season in the following year (Note: The session season runs from March through October.)
