Testimonials
“I am prouder to be an American today than the day I started. I know my own story better now, so I can rejoice in our national heroes, and keep the national memory alive. I have two fingers on the grassroots heartbeat, and I can better hear the cares of the average citizen.”
—CATIE ROBERTSON
“I’ve gone from a college kid working a dead end job to now a full time employee with COS working for a purpose and continually growing as a person. This internship has kickstarted a major turning point in my life and I’m so excited with where my life journey is going.”
—BRICE SOLET
“I have definitely grown as a communicator and as a leader. I feel like I step up to the plate more often, and I articulate my words much better. I have gained confidence and I have become a happier person after meeting this crew. Everyone in the program believed in me, and I believed in them. I also have gained more perspectives about both religious and political views, as well as backgrounds/culture. I have become more invested in my own religious journey, and even bought a Bible!”
—EMILY ROSECRANS
“I’ve grown tremendously as a leader, as a follower of Christ, as a patriot, and as a man of God.”
—DABNEY PETERS
“I have changed for the better as a result of this internship in more ways than I thought possible. I have learned what it takes to be a better servant leader and statesman, and what it means to be a true American Patriot.”
—KELLEN ZISSOS
“As an ELP intern, I have been granted so many opportunities that cannot be found elsewhere. I am always being challenged to use servant leadership inside and outside of work, which has strengthened me in so many ways. I’ve driven deeper into my relationship with the Lord on an astronomical level. And that alone changes everything. This program is truly life-changing.”
—LANAH BURKHARDT
“I started this internship lost. What I found was a growth-minded community dedicated and passionate about being a light in a dark world. I found something I wanted to be a part of. I found something I couldn’t find in any other internship: a purpose.”
