The details

What to know.

Salary

Will I be paid?

Interns raise financial support to cover their full-time salary, training and travel. Your training will equip you for that process, called Ministry Partner Development.

Deadlines

Three start seasons

Apply by March 1, May 15 or October 1. Training follows in mid-April, late August and mid-January. The application takes up to 6 weeks.

Length

About 12 months

Most internships last 12 months after support raising. Interns usually raise support April to July and begin their assignment in August.

Need an internship for college credit?

Most AIA internships are for college graduates. If you are still in school and want an unpaid internship with one of our national teams for academic requirements, we would be happy to explore options with you.

We would love to help.
