CRM - Empowering Leaders
Internships - Short-term, Informal
Internships are a great short-term experience of life and ministry on an InnerCHANGE team. Each internship’s length of time, specific role, mentoring plan, and other considerations are arranged with the team leader where you’ll be serving.
The focus of our internship is discernment in the context of service. As you gain a taste of life and ministry in an InnerCHANGE context, we aim to guide you into better understanding of who God made you to be and whether you might be called to longer-term ministry among the poor.
Consider interning with InnerCHANGE if you have a specific season of time or location in which you’d like to serve. Internships are also good ways to arrange extended visit with one of our teams outside the
Internships require a small amount of up-front fund-raising, but the cost is determined by where you’re going and the length of your stay. These arrangements can be made with the team leader.

If you know of a specific site that you are interested in, please mention that as you will probably begin an email conversation with the team leader of that site.
What to expect in arranging an Internship:
You will be sent an application, various paperwork, how to download a booklet on our core writings to give you a feel for InnerCHANGE. Please fill out the application as soon as possible as it will speed up the process.
As you talk with Rick and Molly Jo and think through sites that may be a good fit for you, they will put you in touch with the Team Leader for those sites you are interested in.
Generally internships are not long enough to require substantial fundraising but InnerCHANGE would be glad to send literature to help Interns talk with potential donors. Please feel free to ask Rick and Molly Jo for this information.
The main decision is between you and the Team Leader. Rick and Molly Jo will process your application and make sure that you have all necessary paperwork done.
It can take several months to arrange an internship.
