Learn & Discern Internship Program  Chautauqua Catholic Community Hospitality Internship   Internship Program and Place The Chautauqua Catholic Community (CCC or The Catholic House) (chautauquacatholics.org) is the Roman Catholic denominational house on the Grounds of the Chautauqua Institution.  For the 9 weeks of the Chautauqua season, CCC provides below-market accommodations for up to twelve individuals attending Institution programming; sponsors two priest chaplains weekly who celebrate daily and weekend Masses; sponsors weekly community “Socials”, seminars and other events; and fosters the overall spiritual, social and intellectual well-being of the Roman Catholic community on the Grounds. The International Order of the King’s Daughters and Sons ( IOKDS.org ) is a nondenominational, Christian service organization whose mission includes spiritual and career discernment and development of young adults at the Chautauqua Institution since 1920. The Chautauqua Institution (Chq.org), NY, is a festival for the mind, body, and spirit where we listen, learn, and lead.  Over 100,000 people make up this summer community of curious minds and open hearts.  David McCullough, renowned historian author, describes Chautauqua saying, “There is no place like it. It is at once a summer encampment and a small town, a college campus, an arts colony, a music festival, a religious retreat and the village square.” CCC, IOKDS and the Chautauqua Institution believe deeply in the value of life-long learning and holistic development of individuals.  Internship Opportunity This internship will be jointly sponsored by CCC and IOKDS.  The Intern selected for this role will be housed and fed at IOKDS (along with 5-7 other IOKDS Interns), but will spend most of their working time at the Catholic House.  The Intern will report to both the CCC House Hosts and the IOKDS Program Director.   Live in the culturally rich environment of the Chautauqua Institution with many “off-hours” opportunities to engage in recreation, entertainment, the arts, and religion.
