The vision of the Welfare and Self-Reliance Department is to follow Jesus Christ by embracing the two great commandments to love God and love our neighbor as we minister to temporal needs, build spiritual and temporal self-reliance, and bless both givers and receivers. This opportunity within the Humanitarian Services division will give interns valuable insights into the operations of humanitarian efforts of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as they work in a critical functional role that includes a wide range of supporting tasks.
