Internships

Exploring...Experiencing....Expecting the Unexpected

Most internships will give you a vision of what a career will be like: we will give you a vision of how to change the world.

A Food for the Hungry internship is a supervised work experience in which you will be exposed to the vision and mission of meeting spiritual and physical needs worldwide.

You will learn to see the world as a whole and to see community development as part of a coherent worldview. You will also see how our Vision of Community philosophy of ministry mobilizes families, churches, and leaders in meeting spiritual and physical needs worldwide.

The life I touch for good or ill will touch another life, and that in turn another, until who knows where the trembling stops or in what far place my touch will be felt.
-- Frederick Buechner
