** Special Note for SLU Summer Long Interns in Orlando: Non sponsored interns (not selected and sponsored by a sponsoring school) raise the funds to be an SLU intern and serve at SLU 101 in Orlando. Those funds, which total $4000, are due to the SLU office not later than May 15, 2026. Each non-sponsored intern is selected by the SLU Leadership. Applications for this position only are due on January 30, 2026.
APPLICATION TIMELINE FOR SLU Summer Staff: Applications for SLU Summer Staff positions are accepted on an on-going basis and may be submitted at any time throughout the year, yet interviews will not begin until February 2026. Applicants are encouraged to wait to submit their applications until December 2025 so that they can include activities they are currently involved in. Once an application is received by the office, the applicant will be sent an email within two weeks confirming receipt of the application and detailing the rest of the application process.
COMPENSATION FOR SLU Summer Staff: All travel expenses to and from the program site (flight, driving, etc.) are paid for by SLU. During the program week, all housing, food, and approved incidental expenses are also covered by SLU. SLU Summer Staff Member positions are volunteer positions; therefore staff members do not receive a weekly stipend from SLU. The only exception to this is those staff members who are selected by the individual sponsoring schools.
Alumni Testimony
Being a part of the SLU alumni team has been one of my favorite rhythms in leadership each year. It’s a time to be surrounded by a team of leaders passionate about excellence and serving others well from the baseline that leadership begins at the feet of Jesus.
If you’re looking for a practical way to grow and utilize the tools you have learned through the SLU journey you should apply to join the SLU alumni team!
