Our enrollment team helps to bring students to Cumorah Academy. As part of the enrollment team you will spread the word and enroll students to take part in this life changing experience.
Each semester we invite a variety of interns to come and work at our campus. Interns teach and train students (young adults ages 18-35), build our community, and assist Cumorah in achieving our mission.
All of our interns live on the campus, and our campus has limited bed spots. Because of this, we cannot accept anyone with dependents. If you are married, both you and your spouse must contribute to the campus in some way. That means you must both be interns, or you could be an intern and your spouse could be a student, or we could work to arrange something else. We will let you know the options during the interview process and work with you if you fall into this category.
Semester last for just under 90 days and follow this schedule:
- Winter: beginning of January – Beginning of April
- Summer: End of April – Mid-July
- Fall: End of August – Mid-December
All interns must be able to communicate in English at C2 level or higher.
