A DPF Peace Intern is a valuable resource for any camp, conference or other regional church event! Interns are more than just a counselor, they provide special programming on peace and justice issues and serve as a resource to and mentor for youth. DPF seeks to make Peace Interns available for as many camps and conferences as possible each summer, but there are always more requests for Peace Interns than Peace Interns available, so get your requests in early! If you would like a Peace Intern to participate in your summer camp or event, please complete the Request an Intern Form found below.
Please note:
Your Region may apply for more than one event! In fact, this improves the chances that we will be able to place an intern in your Region.
Because DPF Peace Interns may need to arrive late or leave early for overlapping events, they should always be considered an an EXTRA staff person, not counted as the minimum number of counselors or chaperones.This will also make it easier to schedule them for workshops and other program leadership you’d like them to provide.
Please be aware that completion of this request does not guarantee the presence of a Peace Intern at your event. While we make every attempt to fill as many requests as possible, we always receive more requests than placements available.
