Orthodox Christian Fellowship is accepting applications for several paid student internships beginning June 1, 2026, supporting national campus ministry work in chapter resources, event logistics, communications, and Great Lent programming. Each role includes a $1,500 stipend and requires up to 10 hours per week.

OCF is the official collegiate campus ministry program under the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of the United States of America. The openings are national and open to Orthodox students anywhere, including those in the Philadelphia region.

The openings include a Chapter Resources Student Intern, two UPSTREAM Logistics Student Interns, an UPSTREAM Marketing & Communications Student Intern, and a Virtual Programs Student Intern focused on Great Lent programming.

The Chapter Resources internship focuses on OCF chapters around the country. The student selected for the role will review existing materials, speak with students and chapter leaders, help create a new chapter resource, and update OCF’s Holistic Living Guide. The position runs through the conclusion of the Spring 2027 semester.

The UPSTREAM logistics roles are for students who are organized and comfortable helping with planning and on-site coordination. Interns will support registration, speaker coordination, transportation, program setup, check-in, and follow-up after the January program. The two students selected will attend Ignite from August 10 to 14, 2026, which OCF describes as part of onboarding, training, and collaboration.

A separate UPSTREAM Marketing & Communications internship will focus on social media, email outreach, photography, video, website content, and post-event recap work. OCF is seeking a student with writing and communications skills, along with experience or familiarity with social media, photography, and videography. That role runs through mid-February 2027.

The Great Lent virtual programming internship will support two national OCF initiatives, Day of Prayer and Spiritual Wake Up. The intern will help shape the theme, coordinate contributors, prepare daily Lenten messages, and work with OCF staff and clergy on content for students across the country. The role runs through the conclusion of Great Lent 2027.

Applicants must be undergraduate or graduate students between the ages of 18 and 25 and active participants in the life of the Orthodox Church. OCF says prior involvement in OCF is strongly preferred for the Chapter Resources, UPSTREAM Logistics, and Great Lent programming roles. For the UPSTREAM Marketing & Communications role, prior involvement in ministry communications is preferred but not required.

Applications are available through OCF’s website.
