2 for 20s

In the first year of the 2 for 20s internship, participants will complete the BASIC training program, as well as begin their first year of LEAD School. Interns will be exposed to and serve in a variety of ministry areas while seeking to achieve intentional missionary goals. Some of these ministry areas are:

• Children's ministry 
• Sports ministry 
• Student/Youth ministry 
• Young Adult ministry
• Women's ministry 
• Music/Media ministry 
• Biblical Counseling ministry

Interns in their 2nd year of the 2 for 20s internship will complete their 2nd year of LEAD School, as well as choose one specific ministry area to focus on for the year, while continuing to achieve weekly missionary goals. 

October 2027

New Hope has partnered with Reliant, a ministry that trains and equips interns and church residents for support raising. Interns will receive coaching from Reliant staff to help them in their support raising. 

Interns are not required to have college degrees to be in the program.  

Outside of their weekly 20 hour commitment to the internship, interns are encouraged to do one of three things. 1) Work part time at a job within the community 2) Work part-time within New Hope as roles are available 3) Work towards an undergraduate or graduate degree as an online student. 

Interns are able to work towards a degree during their time in the program. 

There may be some scholarships available for those pursuing a degree during the internship. You can let a program leader know if you are interested in finding out more about those.
