JOIN OUR SUMMER EVENT STAFF

This isn’t your typical seasonal job. CIY Summer Event Staff is an experience that includes traveling the country, serving the local church, and watching thousands of students meet Jesus for the first time. We’re looking for people who want to use their gifts and abilities to be part of something bigger than just a summer job. We’re looking for Kingdom Workers who want to serve the Church and, along the way, create lasting memories and friendships during the experience of a lifetime.
