ESL Volunteer Instructor/Tutor: Available Internships for Fall 2025 and Spring/Summer/Fall 2026. Overview: We are searching for teachers, substitute teachers, and one-on-one tutors for our adult ESL (English as a Second Language) program. Our Fall 2025 semester will run from September 22 – December 4th. It will be followed by our Spring semester, with dates to be determined.
Administrative Interns/Volunteers: Fall 2025, Winter, Spring, Summer 2026. Provide holistic support for residents of the Roosevelt Park Ministries neighborhood and surrounding area through a warm welcome, answering phones, and translation of basic documents and knowledge of services/programs offered at RPM.
This opportunity will allow the interns to utilize both Spanish and English skills. The internship requires 8–10 hours per week for 12-15 weeks or more, and days and hours can be negotiated. The internship is unpaid.
Also, we are seeking an Administrative Assistant for our Executive Director. This could be either a paid or unpaid internship with flexible hours and a variety of adminstrative tasks. Ability to speak Spanish is a plus, but not required for this position.
Family Worker Intern/Volunteer: Fall 2025, Winter, Spring, Summer 2026. Work alongside RPM staff to connect the agency to the community and to help build strong family relationships. Roosevelt Park Ministries, a non-profit organization located in the Roosevelt Park area of Grand Rapids, is seeking an intern to assist our staff Family Worker.

Technology Internship: Internships Available for both Fall 2025 and Spring 2026. We are looking for an instructor for our Basic and Intermediate Computer classes. The classes are for adult Spanish-speakers who are in need of fundamental computer literacy skills in order to grow their options and opportunities in a technology driven world. Because our students speak mostly Spanish, we are looking for someone who is bilingual in Spanish and English, both in speaking and writing.
Gardening: We’re looking for a person who loves to garden! Can you be a champion for our garden plot on Grandville Ave and the garden boxes here at Roosevelt Park Ministries? To start with, this would take daily work to get things weeded and planted but would become less work over time. We would love to see the flowers, fruits, vegetables, and herbs put to use in our area!
