What Is the Lastleaf Internship?

Four young adults standing on a grassy field in front of a historic stone building with a cloudy sky above. They are smiling and wearing matching black hoodies.

At Lastleaf, we believe leadership begins with service and purpose is discovered through experience.

The Lastleaf Internship is a 10-week summer journey (June 1–August 5) where young adults (ages 18–22) step into hands-on ministry, grow in their faith, and experience what it means to GIVE YOUR ALL for God and others.

You’ll serve alongside the Lastleaf team in areas such as missions, outreach, media, and next-generation ministry—while being mentored, challenged, and equipped to live with intentional purpose.
