Other Urban Project Opportunities
Urban projects are ministry experiences which InterVarsity runs in many major American cities each spring and summer. Some are just a week or two long, usually over spring or winter break. But most are from 5-8 weeks long (these are actual “internships”), usually beginning mid-June. They nearly all share a common commitment to teaching certain values, such as exploring issues such as justice, poverty, racism, racial reconciliation, violence, lifestyle, biblical community, and the ministry of the urban church.
