Live Missionally:
DayStar Internship Summer 2027

Seven weeks to grow in faith.
Lead with purpose.
Serve with impact
With Indigenous youth in Northern Ontario

DayStar's 2027 summer internship exists to create redemptive and discipling relationships so that Indigenous youth would
KNOW Jesus,
FOLLOW Jesus,
and SHARE Jesus.

Over seven weeks, you’ll be challenged, equipped, and encouraged to grow in faith, leadership, and service while making a redemptive difference in the lives of Indigenous youth.
“Before the internship, I knew that Indigenous communities have experienced much hardship and need the hope of the Gospel, but this summer gave me a much deeper understanding of the realities they face.”
