Internship opportunities
GAP YEAR PROGRAM
The Gap Year program is an experience in the United Kingdom where individuals live within local communities and serve alongside churches and ministry partners. Our longtime friends at Tees Valley Youth for Christ places team members in church and school settings, using their unique gifts to build Gospel-centered relationships with young people through youth ministry, classroom engagement, sports outreach, after-school clubs, and everyday presence.
Rather than a short-term trip, being apart of the Gap Year team is about long-term faithfulness—living on mission, meeting real needs, and joining what God is already doing among students and communities across the UK.
SUMMER + A SEMESTER
4-6 months. Northeast England. True impact, shorter commitment.
Not ready for a full year but can’t imagine staying only for the summer? Summer and a Semester gives you 4-6 months to experience serving Jesus in the UK to give more of your time and attention to His purposes in England.
When: August to Christmas break OR January to July
Where: Northeast England—Tees Valley, York, Doncaster, or Sunderland. (more coming soon!)
UK-USA Ministries has been doing this for nearly 20 years with Tees Valley Youth for Christ. This is your opportunity to be part of reaching the UK for Christ—even if you only have half a year to give!
Your Day-to-Day
You'll do the same meaningful work as our Gap Year team:
CHURCH MINISTRY – Jump into local youth ministry. Build community, lead activities, and walk alongside young people navigating life and faith.
SCHOOLS – Use what you're good at (seriously, anything from football to art to teaching) to connect with secondary school students where they are.
CAMP OF CHAMPIONS – Our sports camps are where true connection happens. Young people gather to play sports, you share your stories, and everyone hears the Gospel in a way that resonates.
AFTER SCHOOL CLUBS – Create safe spaces where kids can be themselves, get help with homework, have fun, and encounter Jesus.
SHOWING UP – Sometimes the Gospel looks like meeting practical needs. We follow Jesus' example (Matthew 20:28) by serving our communities however they need us most.
The ten2 project
We offer summer internships through our partner organization, Greater European Mission. These 8-week opportunities involve helping meet local needs by working with churches, schools, cafés, outreach projects, and more.
