The Upper House Internship Program is a paid opportunity designed to foster both the professional and spiritual development of undergraduate students. Interns work closely with our Foundation staff in specialized roles, helping to create high-quality events that serve the university and Madison’s broader community.

An Upper House internship is more than just a job—it’s a mentorship experience. You’ll develop transferable skills in a professional setting while gaining insight into event production and the operations of a multifaceted nonprofit rated as one of the country's Best Christian Workplaces.

This is not just a run-and-get-coffee scenario—though we will show you how to make a great pot for our events. It’s a systems-creating, résumé-building, faith-deepening kind of experience. You'll work with thought leaders, field experts, and a high-caliber team invested in you—and have plenty of fun along the way.

Undergraduate interns are hired for specialized roles—listed below—and can expect to work 9-15 hours/week.  

“As I go into a career of ministry, I’m grateful for this experience [of interning at Upper House]. It forces me to ask myself, am I truly living out my faith in all circumstances?”

“From my very first day to every day after, I’ve been in for a surprise. I’m constantly surrounded and filled by people who exude love and joy. I’ve learned and seen what it means to serve more like Jesus out of genuine hospitality and intentional care for everyone who enters the space. And to top it all off, I’ve had a blast doing it.”

“My role as a Hospitality Intern at Upper House has provided me with a space to grow in both my professional skills and spiritual development. Upper House approaches hospitality with a wholistic view that has taught me how living with a spirit of hospitality is one way to love others how Jesus would.” 

“As an Upper House intern, you will be part of a loving, dedicated, and highly knowledgeable team committed to your spiritual and professional growth. It is truly inspiring to work alongside nationally recognized leaders who not only excel in their fields but also take the time to mentor and support me, even in answering my simplest questions.”
