Overview

The Office of Vocation and Ministry (OVM) at Hellenic College seeks to hire up to two summer interns who would enjoy being a part of our fast-paced and technologically-oriented office. The OVM is comprised of a small, dynamic team dedicated to fulfilling its mission to train, educate and inspire the next generation of leaders for the Orthodox Church.  During the academic year the OVM runs programs for the students and faculty on the campus of Hellenic College (www.vocations.hchc.edu); during the summer it runs CrossRoad, a program for high school juniors and seniors from across the U.S. and from all Orthodox jurisdictions (www.crossroad.hchc.edu).

Through this position the intern will gain experience in project management, event coordination, and task management, and will gain first-hand experience as to the innerworkings of a vibrant ministry in the Orthodox Church.

Hellenic College, located on a beautiful hilltop campus in Brookline, Massachusetts, is a small liberal arts college with undergraduate majors in Elementary Education, Human Development, Management & Leadership, Classics, and Religious Studies. Hellenic College is the only Orthodox Chrisitan college in the Western hemisphere.  CrossRoad is an academic summer program for Orthodox high school juniors and seniors of all jurisdictions that seeks to inspire participants to travel the road of the cross of Christ in their lives, for it is in Him we find direction, meaning, hope, love, and answers.
