The Fresno Urban Internship (FUI) is a 5 1/2 week experience in Fresno's poorest neighborhoods. Interns work side-by-side with a ministry while completing an academic curriculum focusing on biblical themes. Depending on the site, interns have an opportunity to see God at work helping at-risk young men find jobs, directing kids clubs, serving women in crisis, and many other things.
Participants contribute approximately 30 hours per week to their agency, five hours per week to internship classes, and 5 hours per week in study. Students live in community together in the Pink House. Arrangements for meals are arrived at by agreement with the other interns. Personal expenses are handled individually. The overall program is intensive, rigorous, and challenging, as well as joyful and fun.
