Learn & Serve Internships
SIFAT needs interns for our campus programming. Interns are college graduates looking to do a gap year at a nonprofit organization that is active around the world. Your internship will incorporate all three of our areas of expertise: Training, Missions & our Campus. You will physically reside on the gorgeous 176-acre campus, learning and participating in all that goes on here (our farm to table programs, our appropriate technology training, our global village and slum experiences). You will experience training in global hunger, malnutrition, contaminated water and more. You will learn what it means to be a missionary in a developing world, and you will participate in missions as well. There is no other program like it. Having a love for the outdoors is not a requirement, but is strongly recommended. We are looking for teachable, humble, missions loving college graduates. Your housing will be provided.
Learn & Serve is constantly taking applications for our internship program. This program lasts for three, six or nine months in the season(s) of your choosing: winter, spring, summer or fall. During your time here, you will learn spiritual disciplines, gain ministry experience, be trained in appropriate technology, sharpen your work ethic and inspire those around you to make a change for the better! This is a great way to get involved and dip your toes into all we have to offer! Click here to apply!
