Meet the Year Interns!

As year interns, Terrence, Dylan, and Zechariah will live and work with the residents of the Hartley House. A large part of their job will be in the construction Camp Daniel’s new grounds, in addition to assisting with Special Olympics, The Hub Student Ministry and The Able Church. While doing all of these jobs, they will be learning about non-profit work, disability, leadership and what it mean to be a missionary to a subculture.

The missionary aspect of being a year-long intern is a large part of an intern’s experience and growth during their year. All the staff at Camp Daniel are full time missionaries to people with disabilities, and like most missionaries, the interns will need to raise $600 in monthly financial support to pay rent, food, transportation, and other living expenses. They ask for your financial support, whether it be $10, $20, $50, or $100 a month.
