A collective of twenty-two churches in downtown Ottawa
The Centretown Churches Social Action Committee (CCSAC) is a collective of twenty-two churches in downtown Ottawa. CCSAC was started in 1967 by nine churches to respond to social needs in the Centretown area. CCSAC has undertaken many initiatives on behalf of people who are socially and economically disadvantaged in our community. Since 1978, CCSAC’s main project has been oversight of the Centretown Community Food Centre (CEFC). CCSAC’s mandate also includes advocacy for social justice, especially for issues relating to poverty.

We are looking for young adult student interns (a max of 3) who can help us adapt to our continually changing circumstances, add to our vibrant faith community, and who have a shared interest to serve in an urban church setting, explore their spiritual gifts, develop leadership skills, and grow via mentorship.
The Knox Student Internships will take place over two semesters, with flexibility built in for time off for Reading Weeks, Christmas/Easter breaks, as well as family functions.
Interns will receive Bursaries totaling $1500 for the academic year ($750 at the beginning of each semester) in exchange for 3-4 hrs (average) of work per week.
