Church and Society interns learn how the agency carries out the mandate of the Social Principles and the Book of Resolutions through education and advocacy in the worldwide United Methodist Church.
Meet the 2026 Summer Interns! The General Board of Church and Society is excited to welcome its 2026 summer interns! This year, we are hosting 12 interns: eight Ethnic Young Adult (EYA) interns, two Church and Society interns, and two Theology interns. They bring diverse experiences, deep faith, and a shared commitment to justice.
Throughout the summer, the interns will engage in advocacy, public policy, theological reflection, and community engagement while serving alongside Church and Society staff and leaders. Pray for them as they explore the intersection of faith and social witness and deepen their understanding of their call to justice, leadership, and service in their communities and around the world.
Recognizing the visa challenges some interns may face in participating in the Washington, D.C., program, GBCS continues to offer a hybrid internship model that welcomes both in-person and virtual interns from across the United Methodist connection.
We are excited to introduce you to our 2026 summer interns!
