LENGTH
12 MONTHS
Most international internships begin on August 1 and conclude the following July. Exact return dates may vary based on internship locations.
International partnerships
International internships are a big part of how Athletes in Action helps launch ministry in new countries. Along with Spring Break trips that serve the same countries, interns join a team of leaders from the host country to jumpstart ministry to athletes and coaches. Today, there are four global partnership locations.
WHERE WE'RE FOCUSED
Athletes in Action strategically resources national ministry leaders in all regions of the globe to support the spiritual development of influential athletes.
“Committing one year to serving overseas was an amazing opportunity to learn a new culture, experience a deeper intimacy with the Lord, build friendships, and partner with what God was already doing in the lives of athletes and the team in Cape Town.
If He is calling you to go, DO IT.”
