Upon completion of their 2nd year, RU students are eligible to apply for a 3rd year experience facilitated through Ramp Interns. In addition to RU academics, Ramp interns continue ministry training, and step into ministry activation. Interns at the Ramp enter into "now" opportunities within their calling and purpose. Taking two years of discipleship and ministry training received at RU, Interns turn understanding and impartation into influential, fruit-bearing action. Entrusted with positions of influence and responsibility, these dynamic leaders utilize their strengths and gifts to bring value and growth to multiple expressions of the Ramp.

 

From staff meetings to department projects, Ramp Interns gain insightful wisdom and practical understanding within the many facets and systems of the Ramp. Working in these systems, Ramp Interns encounter real life ministry scenarios within safe, encouraging environments. This unique setup produces sustained growth and provides a deep well of experience student interns draw from for the rest of their lives. 

 

Not only do Ramp Interns receive the benefits of being woven into the fabric of the Ramp with close connection to staff and faculty, but they also receive exclusive leadership development tailored specifically to their individual leadership style. This specialized development helps each intern maximize their leadership capacity while simultaneously taking part in leadership roles. Expression, responsibility, and development differ with each intern, but this truth can be said with confidence: Ramp Interns are leading a global awakening. 

COMMITMENT

Ramp Internships are nine months or one year commitments depending on the department and assigned responsibility. The earliest opportunities begin shortly after graduation while others start closer to the beginning of the new school year. During this time frame, Ramp Interns become whole-hearted staff members of their department committed to help accomplish the vision and mission of the Ramp. 

EXPERIENCE AND EXPECTATIONS

As a Ramp Intern, you are a leader entrusted with responsibilities in one or multiple areas of the Ramp. While you lead in these areas, RU is committed to investing in this process by sharpening your leadership skills and creating opportunities for personal growth. Outlined below are the expectations and requirements for all Ramp Interns:
