About

ARPA Canada is running an 8-month internship to train Reformed young people (ages 18-25) for political action.

As Christians, we seek to bring a biblical perspective to all of life, including politics.
The ARPA internship will serve to equip young people to face the opportunities and challenges of engaging in the public square, providing both worldview training and practical political experience. This eight-month internship will be divided into two four-month segments, as follows:

1. September – December

This will include a variety of lectures and activities at ARPA’s Ottawa office to help shape a biblical perspective on many of the issues we face in Canada today. In addition, interns will gain practical political experience while working half-time for MPs on Parliament Hill.

2. JANUARY-APRIL

Interns will be placed full time with MPPs or MLAs
 in one of Canada’s provincial legislatures.

INTERNSHIP COST

There is no cost to participate in the internship components.

Interns will be responsible for their own living arrangements and living expenses, and will be provided with a small monthly honorarium.
