Jake Mancuso

Jake Mancuso is an incoming RUF intern at the University of Virginia. He is originally from Sterling, Virginia, and recently graduated from Appalachian State University with a degree in Philosophy and a minor in Psychology. During college, Jake was involved in a variety of extracurriculars, including club basketball, playing live music, the philosophy club, and several local ministries, RUF being the main one. He was a member of his church, served as a youth leader at another, co-led a Bible study his senior year, and was active in RUF’s freshman fellowship ministry. These experiences deepened his love for relational ministry and gospel-centered fellowship. Jake loves meeting new people, sharing his faith, and encouraging others to follow Jesus. Nothing brings him more joy than deep, Christ-centered conversations. He is excited to meet the students at UVA and build meaningful, honest, and lasting relationships. Jake hopes to share his own faith journey in a way that invites others into the joy and hope found in Christ.
