Why consider this internship? 

  • An international internship combines the benefits of a traditional internship (skill and resume improvement, employment connections) with the benefits of study abroad (cultural immersion)—and doing it through OM and InterVarsity means you will also experience the benefits of mission-driven discipleship connected to global Christian community. 
  • Our interns on average rate their work experience as a 9/10 in terms of doing meaningful work, receiving specific encouragement, and being prepared in their work. OM was chosen as a Handshake Early Talent Award recipient because of our mission-driven approach to internships and our high level of manager investment and care. 
  • 2 out of 3 of our interns say they would consider working for their host team, organization, or business in the future—and 2 out of 3 of our managers say they would hire their intern for a similar job.

 

Additional Information: 

  • All interns must be in full agreement OM USA’s Statement of Faith. 
  • Internships begin in mid-May and go through July, and program includes an orientation and debriefing with your internship cohort and OM and InterVarsity staff. 
  • This is an unpaid internship (like the vast majority of international internships, especially with nonprofits and small businesses in developing economies). Travel, program, and living costs must be covered by the intern, either personally or through fundraising, financial aid, or scholarships you find. We work hard to keep these costs to a minimum so that these internships are accessible to everyone, and you may fundraise to cover most of those costs. If you are invited into the cohort, you will need to provide a deposit (applied toward your total costs) to secure your spot. 
  • Internship credit could be available upon the approval of your university/college administration. May qualify for other degree or course requirements, such as practicum or observation hours; check with your advisor. 
  • Application deadline is February 20, 2026, but cohort may fill sooner.
