About Our Internships
Experienced mentors support interns in fields such as healthcare, education, social work, microfinance, construction and administration. Interns also train in ministry, leadership, intercultural skills and community development.
Internships cost $1,250 per month (airfare and travel insurance not included). SI encourages interns to raise support for their experience, and interns with student loans may raise additional support to apply to loan payments.
Interns may choose to work on a Master’s Degree while serving with SI, but this is not required.
