Do,

While it may seem early, now is the time when many college students begin planning for their Summer 2023 internships. You likely already know this if you have a college student in your life—whether it's in your own household, or your church ministry. 

At the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, we believe strongly in investing in the next generation. Our internship program exists to prepare students and young professionals with a gospel-centered, kingdom-focused perspective on the issues of everyday life. 

Interns come alongside ERLC staff to equip church leaders to address complex ethical issues in their communities, local churches, and represent Southern Baptists to the United States government. In sum, ERLC Interns do much more than simple errands and coffee runs.

Take a look at some of the things interns have been a part of in past years:

• Help write policy briefs
• Draft correspondence to congressional staff
• Assist with communication strategy
• Write draft version of a comprehensive report for stakeholders 
• Provide research on ethical debates
• Met with state and federal Christian officials working in the public square
• Completed a course of study in ethics, biblical theology, and public policy

If you know a college student in your life who is looking for an internship opportunity for next year, encourage them to apply today. We have several different internship tracks which you can learn more about here. 

We are excited to begin working with next year’s class of interns. Southern Baptists should be proud of the students they have sent to us each year.
