Spend your summer with SYI—June 13-July 17, 2022!
The Miller Summer Youth Institute at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary provides a five-week Virtual College Internship Program for first-year to graduating seniors in undergraduate institutions. We are seeking 12 college-aged students to participate in this internship program.
There will be two components to the Virtual College Internship: (1) A vocational discernment piece, guided by seminary student mentors and (2) An interfaith spiritual/theological formation piece in the form of a seminar and research project that will meet twice a week.
Vocational Discernment Activities
Interns will engage a variety of text, media, and art as part of reflection on the vocational questions: Who is God calling me to be? What is God calling me to do? They'll meet with college intern mentors and small groups to discuss the week's media and themes.
Spiritual and Theological Formation Activities
Interns will meet twice a week over five weeks for a guided seminar on an interreligious topic. Through this seminar, students will be introduced to major theological questions and, through breakout sessions, will reflect on their own spiritual journey and on the various ways they are being called into deeper reflection on their lives and their roles within their communities—religious and otherwise.
Compensation
Interns will receive $1,000 stipend. Because this is a virtual internship program, interns will be able to work or volunteer in their home communities over the course of the five weeks.
