Investing in Faith@Work

The Faith@Work program is sponsored by InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, a national non-profit designed to engage college students with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our program expenses are funded through personal donations by interested investors.

We raise money for new projects, such as the Summer Internship Project (see below). To schedule a meeting to hear about investment opportunities and ways to partner, contact us.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Faith@Work a part of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship?
Yes, it's a pilot program in San Diego, endorsed by local InterVarsity leadership

Is InterVarsity a recognized non-profit organization?
Yes, InterVarsity is a 501(c)(3) organization, and all donations are tax-deductible

Are there similar organizations out there doing the same thing?
There are many national organizations committed to helping Christian professionals integrate faith principles into the workplace, but so far Faith@Work is the only program targeted towards college students and entry level employees. 

How do I contribute financially?

What are your current volunteer needs?
We invite Christian professionals, male and female, to serve as mentors to students (see above), to hire Faith@Work students as interns or entry level employees, and to give financially.

Can anyone participate?
Not necessarily. Frankly, we don't want everyone to interact with and mentor college students. We believe a good candidate for serving alongside us has a combination of humility, desire, spiritual depth, flexibility, willingness to listen and learn, and emotional maturity. 
For our mentoring program, we're developing a system to check referrals for interested mentors, as well as a feedback mechanism for students to provide feedback after the mentoring experience concludes. 

Where does Faith@Work work?
Currently, Faith@Work works alongside existing InterVarsity chapters at UCSD, USD, and SDSU. We also have relationships with students, faculty, or administration on other campuses in Southern California.
