The organisations, technologies, services and systems that we engage with each and every day are predominantly run by boards or their equivalents.

They determine the strategic direction and vision of the organisations that shape the way we live, work, play and worship.

In Christian organisations, boards can be one of the most important vehicles for God to fulfil his purposes, and board members, when they understand and embrace their position of influence with reverence, can do amazing kingdom-building work.

When we equip future board members with the wisdom, tools and experience they need in the boardroom, we are positioning a generation of leaders to guide their organisations to fulfil God’s purposes here on earth. 

The Board Internship (TBI) places Christian leaders, between 22 and 35 years of age, in a year-long program that gives them hands-on experience on a board, mentorship, training and networking. Interns not only gain knowledge about ministry governance, but experience it in the real world of a well-functioning Christian boardroom.

Distinct from other governance training, TBI grounds interns in governance through a faith lens, so they are trained to seek God and his wisdom in everything from strategy to finance to risk management.

TBI is a joint program from CMA – a ministry that seeks to maximise the effectiveness of Christian organisations – and Korus Connect – a Christian NFP that partners with like-minded people and organisations to transform communities.
