Internship Opportunities
- Church of the Sojourners has an ongoing year-long apprenticeship program. For more information email info@churchofthesojourners.org or call (415) 608-4604.
- World Hunger Relief, Inc. was established in 1976 to address the needs of the hungry, both foreign and domestic, through training in sustainable methods of land use and food production. The farm, situated near Waco, Texas on 42 acres, has a dormitory with accommodations for 24 trainees, a Visitor Education Building, 2 acres of gardens; and a shed that houses the rabbits, machine shop, bicycle repair shop, and provides storage for farm equipment. WHRI is looking for both volunteers and interns. Internships are for fifteen months and are designed for Christians who are called into service in developing countries and realize the need for agricultural skills with intensive, sustainable farming. Following the year-long work at the farm, interns will participate in a three-month experience in Ferrier, Haiti. Short- and long-term volunteers are needed as well. Specific projects and activities will depend on the skills of the volunteers, but could include construction, maintenance, cooking, farm work, mechanics, etc. The purpose of the hands-on internship is:
- To introduce sustainable farming methods and other more sustainable lifestyle issues.
- To be involved in daily physical farm labor and develop understanding of people who are diligent, intelligent and faithful and work very hard to meet their basic needs and yet often fall short.
- To equip the intern to help people meet their basic needs and enjoy the fruit of their labor.
- To share the love of Christ through these activities and follow His command to love our brothers and sisters.
