    In this section use these questions to share with us more about you and why you want to dive deep into what SPO is about.

  • Personal Behavioral Assessment

    The internship is fast paced and set to mimic some of the exceptionally busy times of the school year. Interns will be living in a Household communal environment alongside other Interns and Missionaries. We recognize that the pace of training and the heavy relational realities can be challenging. These next questions are designed to articulate some of these challenges and insure that this internship is right for you. Please be as honest as possible in answering these questions.

  • Training Expectations

  • Commitment to Training Requires Sacrificing Other Good Things

    We are going to ask that if you come to training, you are present the whole time. Here is some official SPO policy on training, and sacrifices that we ask of from all missionaries and interns who are present. 

    +For weddings: We ask anyone going to training (including missionaries) to not attend any weddings in the month unless you are in the wedding party.

    +For classes: Please let us know ASAP about any classes that you must take in the summer. We would ask that you not take classes to the extent possible, and too many classes might preclude you from coming to training. 

    +For dating relationships: Know that for this month, you will likely spend significantly less time with your significant other, even if they are also at training.

    +Other (Family vacations, etc.): Please let us know ASAP if there's anything else you think might pull you away from training. 

  • Please check - this question will be used for follow up conversations to make sure there's clarity from us and for you!*

  • Mission Partner Development

  • Raising Financial Support to Fund the Costs Associated with Your Training 

    Interns are expected to engage in MPD (Mission Partner Development) to establish a team of mission partners for their summer involvement with SPO. We view MPD (in other words, fundraising) as a privilege: an opportunity to invite your friends and family to participate with you and with SPO in God's work. We will train and support you all along the way. 

  • At this point in time, how do you feel about the idea of raising financial support?

  • Final Section

  • For ease in organizing our candidates, we ask applicants to include a profile photo of yourself for our records. This photo has no bearing on decisions for the internship.
