SALT (Summer Apprenticeship & Leadership Training) is a 12-week residential summer internship program designed to help young adults grow in faith, leadership, and professional experience. Located at Green Lake Conference Center, SALT combines paid work opportunities with intentional Christian community, spiritual formation, and personal development.
Each participant serves in a hospitality-focused department (25–30 hours/week) while also engaging in a personalized internship aligned with their career goals or school requirements (10–15 hours/week). Interns receive a weekly stipend of $420–$520, plus free room and board. Whether you choose from one of our established internships or design your own, SALT gives you the chance to apply your faith in real-world contexts.
More than just a summer job, SALT is a chance to step away from the ordinary, make new friends, and discover how your calling fits into God’s greater mission. Live, serve, and grow as salt and light in the workplace, and let God use this summer to shape your future.
SALT is hosted at the stunning Green Lake Conference Center, a lakeside retreat on 900+ acres of woods, trails, and shoreline in south-central Wisconsin. Whether you're hiking, biking, kayaking, or just taking in the sunsets, this place will take your breath away. Drive, fly, or train in—airport pickups from ATW are available and coordinated through our team.
SALT is open to Christian young adults ages 18–28 who are eager to grow, serve, and live in community. Apply early, only 15 spots are available, and applicants must be 18 by April 30, 2026.
