Equip interns with hands-on skills in hospitality, kitchen service, gardening, and community care.
Provide spiritual formation and biblical training through the Discipleship Training Programme.
Foster leadership, responsibility, and vocational clarity.
What the Internship Involves
Interns become part of the day-to-day life of Orama. You will work alongside our team to help host guests, support community rhythms, and keep the village running. This includes practical service in areas such as:
Hospitality and hosting
Kitchen support
Event and retreat set-up
Community care tasks
Supporting gatherings and devotional spaces
The goal is to help you develop a servant-hearted attitude, grow confidence, and learn real-life skills that support Christian ministry and community living. Interns serve around 30 hours per week during practical phases of the programme.
Grow in Faith Through Orama Academy
As part of the internship, you will have the opportunity to join the Orama Academy 12-week Discipleship School – The Way. The Way runs for 12 weeks and includes teaching sessions, devotions, small groups and mentoring.
Living at Orama means waking up each day in one of New Zealand’s most scenic locations. With the ocean at your doorstep and native bush surrounding the village, it is the perfect place to slow down, reconnect with God, and enjoy the beauty of nature.
Interns also have access to our OMAC gear for use including kayaks, paddle boards, fishing gear and hiking equipment for use in personal times.
