Internships are tailored per person but include the following focuses:
HOUSING & ACCOMMODATIONS
Isla Vista Church is able to provide sleeping arrangements at one of our community spaces while you participate in your internship. Accommodations vary, but be ready to sleep on a couch, in an RV, or an air mattress in a shared room. For meals and snacks you will have access to a refrigerator and kitchen area. There are several restaurants and grocery stores within walking distance as well. Plan to bring extra money for either eating out or purchasing food. For part of your stay you will be at the Jesus Burgers House - a ministry home devoted to building community and loving the city of Isla Vista through Jesus Burgers and other acts of service.
