At The Journey, we strive to raise up a generation of empowering leaders who change Journey City for Jesus. As part of Journey Leadership Institute, the Summer Residency and Internship are 10-week accelerated programs in which we intentionally invest in young leaders under the age of 25. Through spiritual development and hands-on ministry training from our staff and leaders, we help them explore a calling for their lives.
