the application for 2025 deep impact and DI Kids staff
opens September 2024.
OUR SUMMER STAFF TEAM
The DI and DI Kids staff team are an integral part of our ministry each year. The staff is made up of college students (those who have completed their first year, with the exception of one DI Kids intern) and travels all summer ensuring that our camps are gospel-centered, missions-focused, and life-impacting. Serving on the DI staff is a unique opportunity, and each summer our staff have formative experiences that allow them to see God at work in the lives of students and children. If you're in search of a summer missions position that allows you to travel, spend time with like-minded believers, and serve Christ, this may very well be what you've been looking for.
BENEFITS OF WORKING FOR DI
In addition to getting to serve the Lord all summer with other college students and impact the lives of thousands of elementary, middle, and high school students, the DI staff team does receive a few additional benefits. Those include a weekly stipend, all expenses paid, seeing new places, a strong sense of Christian community, and an international trip for every staff member.
