Who to talk to

Volunteer and work opportunities

If you are interested in on-campus employment or great volunteer opportunities in an exciting office, come to Campus Ministry and greet the staff!

We have positions in three different areas. In the lounge you can help greet people, keep snacks stocked and share in great conversations. On or around campus you can coordinate exciting events such as service projects or prayers. Finally, in the office you can help with specific projects or events and leave your mark on the traditions of our campus.

Volunteer positions

Our philosophy in Campus Ministry is that we are a team. The Campus Ministry Team is made up of our professional staff, student volunteers, paid student workers and interns. Most people join the Campus Ministry Team by volunteering in our Campus Ministry Lounge. Many people decide to give their time and talents to this particular role during their entire time at Saint Martin's University.

Of course, this is not the only way you can volunteer in Campus Ministry. If you are interested coordinating new and exciting events, you can do that, too. Most of our prayer groups and service projects are student initiated and maintained events. If you ever thought you wanted to be a leader in this way, talk to Susan Leyster or Brian Suda today. Campus Ministry has the resources and the desire to help you make excellent events and develop or hone the skills that will make you successful. This is also a great way to build your resume!

Paid positions

The Benedictine tradition emphasizes stewardship as appreciating and caring lovingly for all the goods of our place. That is why Campus Ministry calls our core team of paid student workers Stewards. Stewards work hard to help ensure that every area of Campus Ministry is given the time, attention and care it needs to be the best it can be. Feel free to ask them any questions. The current Stewards are:

Steward of Communications Laurella White
Steward of Hospitality and Community Rebecca Gorlin
Stewards of Liturgy (Student Sacristans) Meghan Stewart
  Erin Ward
Steward of Faith and Formation Michael Vandehey
Steward of Service and Justice Josh Hite

 

Every spring semester Campus Ministry accepts applications. Steward positions require some previous background in Campus Ministry which many of our Stewards get by volunteering.

In addition to the Steward positions, there are some events that people coordinate for which we do pay a regular stipend.

Internships

Campus Ministry also supports students hoping to complete an internship for their degree. There is so much diversity within Campus Ministry that interns aren't simply for religious studies or community service majors.
