Boston Education Collaborative

The Boston Education Collaborative works with churches, schools, and nonprofits to empower underserved urban students with the education they need for transformation—in their lives and in their communities.

  • Volunteer Ministry Intern: The Boston Education Collaborative (BEC) seeks a volunteer Ministry Intern to help with administrative work, research, and event planning that enables the program to serve churches and organizations through its current projects. The current BEC projects include facilitating learning sessions and youth development trainings, working with a youth center in Quincy, partnering with the Boston Public Schools around community engagement initiatives, and completing some research reports. Learn more here.

Development Team

  • Development Internships: EGC is currently seeking interns for our development team, supporting the development team in a variety of ways, including assisting with donor and church relations, marketing, communications, grantwriting, and events. Interns will develop skills and knowledge of the development field and nonprofit management, and acquire a range of skills to add to their work experience. This is also a great opportunity to learn more about EGC, our programs, and our approach to doing urban ministry. You’ll also gain a broad overview of the system of churches and church-based ministries in Greater Boston, and gain exposure to EGC’s networks. Learn more here.

Intercultural Ministries

The mission of Intercultural Ministries (IM) is to help connect the Body of Christ across cultural lines to express and advance the Kingdom of God in the city, region, and world. 

  • Intercultural Ministries/Research Intern for the Diverse Leadership Research Project: We are looking for interns or volunteers to assist in the research process. The task would include administrative assistance, literature research, as well as assisting in the interview, transcription, and analysis process. The job is a volunteer position. Depending on the capacity, days and hours per week can be flexible. Interview transcription can be done off-site anytime. Research experience and the language and translation skills are a plus. Learn more here.
     
  • Intercultural Ministries Volunteer/Intern, with a focus on expanding the New England Book of Acts and developing its website: In preparation for the Intercultural Leadership Consultation in October of 2007, EGC collaborated with various groups within the church to gather stories, articles, and resources from numerous people groups and ministries that help tell the story of what God is doing in New England. These stories and resources were compiled in a publication called the New England’s Book of Acts (NEBA), which is also available at www.newenglandsbookofacts.org. As not all ethnic groups have been captured and others are in need of updating, we are looking for an intern/volunteer to assist in expanding and updating the NEBA, and to help develop a more interactive version of the publication on our website at www.egc.org/peoplegroups. This position would include some research and fieldwork, but mostly involves administrative tasks. Computer skills are required and experience in Drupal is an asset. Moreover, good telephone and communication skills are needed. The job is an unpaid position and can have flexible working hours. An availability of four hours per week is the minimum; eight hours or more is preferred. Learn more here.
