Christian Boards
What is
it about?
The Board Internship (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. It places young Christians between the ages of 22 and 35 in the boardrooms of Christian NFPs and Churches for 12 months, during which they receive hands-on experience, one-on-one mentorship and become genuinely part of the Host Board’s operations.
Program Breakdown“This year, I have collaborated with my fellow Interns to contribute to a Board working group; received formal training through attending a Board Development Day and numerous breakfast briefings; as well as receiving much wisdom from my assigned Mentor.
I recommend this Internship to anyone wanting to learn about organisation management and strategy from a new perspective.”
