NOTE: THE DEADLINE FOR SUMMER 2012 INTERNSHIP APPLICATIONS IS MARCH 1.
2100 Productions offers internships which provide a marvelous opportunity for men and

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR Some of the different
skills we're looking for in potential interns:
Creativity.

Self-motivation.

Strategic thinking and the ability to deal conceptually with complex issues.
Vision for evangelism, to develop resources and training materials for students and staff.
JOINING THE TEAM Our interns aren't here to
fetch our coffee! You are joining the 2100 Production team. Staff and interns work together in
a collaborative approach to producing and deploying communication tools. All interns function
as full members of the 2100 team working alongside regular team members. This integration
allows people to explore their gifts and their potential career interests in different aspects of the
communication field.
LIVING IN MADISON Internships are held at 2100's
studios located at InterVarsity's National Service Center in Madison, Wisconsin. Depending on
your experience and perspective, being here might feel like life in a big city, a small town, or
somewhere in between.
Worried about finding a community you can click with? Keeping our finger on the pulse of
college life is integral to our work, which means having interns around to work with is also
integral. It's not uncommon for 2100 interns to find a sort of "instant community"
together, in addition to clicking with other folks on the 2100 team and in the office in general.
There are also community-based activities to consider (e.g. some of us are still trying to get the
nerve to enroll in hula dancing classes). Also, there are a number of churches with different
kinds of college/post-grad groups to connect with. Bethel Lutheran Blackhawk Church Door Creek Church Faith Community Bible Church High Point Church Mad City Church
Interns may room with other incoming interns. Some may find housing with staff members
or friends of InterVarsity in the Madison area, but are expected to cover the cost of their room
and board.
FINANCIAL SUPPORT 2100 is sustained financially
by gifts from those who support our vision and ministry. Interns with 2100 may choose to: 1) raise financial support for their ministry with 2100 and receive a wage to cover living
expenses, or 2) participate in an unpaid internship.
For those who opt to raise financial support, we work with our interns to set a budget
appropriate to their needs and resources. To give you an idea of how it works, fundraising for a
limited term internship is comparable to raising funds for a short term missions project.
Fundraising inevitably raises issues and questions for many interns, which is
understandable. Maybe you're wondering, What is fundraising? How do I do it? What if I've
never done it before? What am I supposed to tell my parents? How much do I need and when
do I need it by? Questions are good, and we have staff trained in Fund Development to work
with you in the process. Fundraising is not always easy, but 2100 Productions is committed to
trusting God for this provision.
COLLEGE CREDIT Students wishing to obtain
college credit for their internship should check with their educational institution regarding
requirements for credit. We are glad to work with students to facilitate this option.
