Position Description

Athletes in Action is offering a unique opportunity to do a joint internship with our Youth and Campus ministries. The intern will have the opportunity to experience what ministry with AIA is like through ministering to athletes on Campus and helping to run sports camps in the summer. Locations available across Canada. 

All AIA Staff are responsible for aiding in the fulfillment of the mission and vision of Athletes in Action in their respective spheres and beyond. Our hope is to see a world transformed by the gospel through sport and we labour with God to see this happen. During the campus season this role consists of helping those in varsity athletics discover Jesus, grow in their faith, develop their unique potential and put their faith into action as they impact the world.

During the camp season this role consists of creating spaces for young children to hear and know Jesus through the implementation of summer sport camps with partnering churches in the area. These sports include soccer, basketball, volleyball and multi-sport . Through their position, coaches will engage with athletes from the grassroots level, all the way to competitive athletes at the end of their high school careers. Coaches will be expected to combat negative views of sport culture with the gospel, while inspiring churches to reach their local community.

This is an internship where you will see God provide financially through a team of ministry partners. We provide a team to help you accomplish this and it is a hard journey but one that brings great joy watching God work.
