Engaging Young Adults

Ministry Innovation (MI) internship is a one-year, cohort-based, paid internship for 23–29-year-old adults across the country that includes community formation, spiritual direction, graduate-level courses, and hands-on experience leading innovation. Each intern earns a $4000 stipend, travel opportunities, consulting training and experience, and four graduate academic course credits. The 2026 MI applications are open until Friday, October 17, 2025, with the new cohort beginning in January 2026.

Engaging Young Adults (EYA) helps US-based congregational teams listen deeply to the young adults in their community and design new ways to be in relationship together. Teams meet bi-weekly online for live, virtual learning and workshopping sessions, then spend time in their own communities listening, learning, and experimenting. The next cohort of EYA churches will be selected in the summer of 2026.

Built from nearly a decade of research with congregations, Engaging Young Adults is a fully online, cohort-based training and coaching opportunity for churches aiming to connect deeply with young adults. Participants enhance their professional networks and gain valuable experience in innovative ministry practices while learning from Hub experts. Cohort members are guided by trained young adult Ministry Innovation interns (MIs).
