Your year

You and the world will never be the same.

As an international intern, you will learn how to develop a deep relationship with God, serve as part of a team on mission, be immersed in an entirely new culture and build new ministry skills you will use for a lifetime. Contribute to God’s work and help raise up local staff in each location.

International partnerships

Help launch ministry in new countries.

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.
