THE INTERNS

Interns at the UGA Wesley Foundation are college students and recent college graduates who have answered God's calling to step into campus ministry, champion the students at UGA, and serve the Athens community. Along with serving in their assigned ministry area, interns also take part in a structured curriculum designed to help them, step into their God-given identity and become Christ's ambassadors beyond their time here.
