SI missionaries know the people, culture, and specific needs of the local community, and they’re connected to the local church where their ministry site is located.

We serve students of all ages (including adults) from the United States and from Canada.  Groups that are sure to be a good fit are Church Youth Groups, Church Adult Teams, Campus ministries like Intervarsity or Cru, Christian High Schools, Christian Colleges.

Students International offers many types of ministry sites, and they vary by country.  Medical Missions, sports ministry, pre-schools, social work, microfinance, and agriculture are just a few examples of where a student can work.

Trips are typically 9 days or 13 days.  But we also have longer options like summer staff, internships, study abroad and semester programs, and Global Bridge, our gap year program.  Our busy season starts in March with college spring break and we have teams throughout the summer and in the fall or winter.

At Students International, we understand that short term mission trips can be both rewarding and challenging. We want your experience abroad not only be life changing, but also safe and secure – which is why we work hard at connecting you with trusted resources within each of our partner countries.
