Our Kaleo Summer Interns serve on a team, supervised by the City Director(s), to manage the day-to-day operations of a Kaleo Site. Their responsibilities will include: guiding mission teams, briefing and debriefing teams on ministry; leading learning activities; serving alongside of Kaleo groups; assisting with planning and preparing meals; oversight of Kaleo facilities.

Guiding Teams: Kaleo Interns will serve alongside a mission team of 10-12 students and their youth leaders. The intern serves as the facilitator of the mission trip for the week. This includes helping teams arrive at ministry sites on time, leading various learning activities, and serving alongside the mission team.

Briefing and Debriefing: Briefing is a way to help prepare teams before serving at a new ministry site or starting a learning activity. This requires clear communication and the ability to cast the vision of Kaleo Missions with teams. Debriefing is a way to help teams process their missions experiences. Effective debriefing involves confidence in leading small group discussions and spiritual discernment for handling spiritual questions, concerns, and ideas that arise. Discussing ways to continue to live a life of mission after the mission trip is one of the key components of a Kaleo Mission trip.

Hospitality: Kaleo hospitality is a crucial part of the Kaleo summer program. Hospitality involves preparing simple meals for mission teams, stocking supplies (such as toilet paper, soap, paper towels, etc.), and keeping the Kaleo site clean and organized. Throughout the summer there will be a rotating schedule for each summer intern to take turns serving on hospitality.

Additional Responsibilities:  Applicants with skills/experience in the areas of photography, communication via social media, videography, leading worship, and blogging are encouraged to apply. (Skills in these areas are not required to serve on staff with Kaleo).
