Intern — Creative Arts & Faith Leadership

Part-Time 100% Remote All Academic Semesters

ABOUT VOICE UP MINISTRIES

Voice Up Ministries is a next-generation faith leadership and creative arts ministry preparing emerging leaders to communicate hope, purpose, and healing in a rapidly changing, AI-influenced world. Built on a global platform that organically surpassed one million plays across multiple countries on a budget of $16 per month, we combine demonstrated creative reach with deep mission roots.

OUR FOUNDATION

Every aspect of the internship is grounded in three foundational biblical pillars:

Pillar One: God’s Love and Salvation (John 3:16–17, NLT)

“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.”

Every person has value, purpose, and dignity. The ministry exists to guide people toward healing, restoration, and purpose — not judgment. This pillar shapes our commitment to compassion over condemnation and dialogue over division.

Pillar Two: The Fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22–23, NLT)

“But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!”

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control serve as our leadership ethics, communication standards, and character development framework. Technical ability alone is insufficient for lasting impact.

Pillar Three: Love-Centered Leadership (1 Corinthians 13, NLT)

“Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.” — 1 Corinthians 13:4–7

Knowledge without love is empty. Talent without love is incomplete. Love is not weakness — it is the highest form of leadership. This pillar governs how we lead, create, communicate, and engage technology.

MISSION STATEMENT

— Voice Up Ministries

That biography matters, because it is what gave the walk its urgency. Fuller had not arrived at behavioral health leadership by accident. He had come through classrooms and state government offices and the messy, exhilarating work of starting institutions. He had served as a Principal Investigator on multiple federal grants — through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and the U.S. Department of Education — managing programs with full budgetary compliance across a decade. He had led a behavioral health organization to become one of only eight sites statewide selected for a landmark demonstration initiative. He had ranked in the top national percentile of trainers for crisis prevention. He had launched mobile crisis teams, run a twenty-four-hour crisis access center, and understood, in his bones, what it looked like when a system failed the people it was supposed to serve.

Before all of that, he had founded three public schools from the ground up — growing the organization from nothing to 115 employees, securing $26.8 million in bond investment, achieving national accreditation, and being selected by a state education department as a school reform provider. Before that, he had served as a lead fiscal analyst and legislative liaison for a governor-appointed board, steward of a $3.79 billion annual state education funding formula. He had built a digital platform that attracted 75,000 to 100,000 monthly visitors, connected over a hundred leading national scholars, and was covered in national trade publications. He had been a classroom teacher, earning an innovative teaching award and developing curriculum long before the term "edtech" was in common use.
