VENTURE INTERNSHIP

wholistic training for a life of leadership

Venture Internship exists to develop servant hearted, Biblically-literate, and spiritually disciplined leaders. We want to prepare leaders not just for church ministry but any vocation to which they are called.

why choose venture internship?

• Mix of classroom and hands-on learning and experience
•  One-on-one training from experienced pastors
• Affordability: It is 1/3 of the cost of any University in the state of Washington
• Develop personal leadership skills (personal mission statement, core values, spiritual disciplines, personality & enneagram training)
• Develop college life skills (organization, time management, perseverance, conflict management)
• Develop independent living skills (budgeting, dating,  resume building & interviewing)
• Build lifelong relationships- You will do life with a core group of students, taking in the same classes and growing together in faith.

NPP FLEX PROGRAM

• If you are someone who desires to get their college degree through NU but do not want to do our in-person internship program, we have an option for you

• Simply apply to Northwest University Partnership Program, choose the semester you want to apply for, and click "Venture Church" as the church partner
• You now are considered an "NPP Intern", meaning you get college at 1/3rd of the cost, without actually doing the in-person internship
• NU just requires that you serve regularly at Venture Church and attend services regularly
• This program is perfect for working moms or dads,  people who are outside of the traditional "18-22 year-old college range", grandparents, students who work full-time but want an education, etc.
