Community Living<\/strong>
\nAn integral component of the summer internship is the opportunity to live in intentional community for the duration of the internship experience. Interns live together on the beautiful campus of Texas Wesleyan University<\/a> in Fort Worth and experience daily life in a diverse, Christ-centered community. Interns are encouraged to participate in social activities and build relationships with other members of the PT community.<\/p>\n

Vocational Exploration
\n<\/strong>Each Friday, interns learn about career opportunities in various service fields, ministries and areas of intern interest through guest speakers, field trips, and interactions with leaders in the community.<\/p>\n

Spiritual Development<\/strong>
\nProject Transformation Greater Tarrant invests in the spiritual development of each intern. The program emphasizes the importance of community through worship, Bible study, and guest speakers. Interns have the opportunity to participate in weekly worship as well as brief morning devotions each day before heading to the program sites. Interns are given space to examine their personal beliefs through intellectual and spiritual discussions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
