Transform youth, the poor, communities, you
Want something better than a summer job? Spend 2 months of your summer making a difference in a person’s life or even an entire community. Experience an internship getting your hands dirty … being with people where they live. Sharing your life and Jesus Christ.
Your internship could send you to Asia*, Ethiopia, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Mexico City, Thailand, or Ukraine to join missionaries already at work among children, urban poor, university students, and rural communities.
You don’t need any specific skills, but to be a REACH intern, you must be a freshman in college (and beyond), be willing to raise your needed funds, and come into the experience with an open heart and a teachable spirit.
For your internship, we will:- Assist you in support raising (the cost for your internship depends on the field), contribution receipting, passport/visa procurement, travel arrangements, medical requirements, and packing.
- Provide training through a required 6-day PreDeparture Orientation in Indianapolis for team building and developing skills in language learning, cross-cultural adaptation, relationship building, your spiritual journey, as well as any other specific pre-field training needed.
- Supply guidance/oversight on the field through veteran CMF missionaries and their partners.
- Complete your internship through a 3-day Debrief to prepare you for reentry and to process, maximize, and bring closure to your experience.
Shannon Garcia would be happy to talk with you more about a REACH internship by email, snail mail, or phone (317.578.2700).
*Due to the sensitive nature of our ministries in Asian countries, we do not provide names and places here.
