Internships
Equipping students to become leaders in disability ministry to transform lives through the Gospel, impact their churches and communities for Christ, and advocate for justice, freedom, and equality for people impacted by disability.
Global Missions and Internships
Are you a student or young professional looking to learn more about serving people with disabilities? Our internship program will give you hands-on experience with ministering to people and families living with disability!
Types of Internships
Global Mission
Small teams of interns participating in a global mission will join together for training on the biblical view of disability and a theology of suffering through our Beyond Suffering curriculum. They receive an opportunity for practical application of their learning by serving people living with disability in the countries where they visit.
University-Affiliated
Cohorts of students from our partner universities are introduced to the Beyond Suffering curriculum, then provided with practical ways to serve families living with disability both locally and globally. These experiences are customized for each degree program and allow students the opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus.
Additionally, Respite at Home is a University-Affiliated internship opportunity here at Joni and Friends which provides rest, hope, friendship, and encouragement to children and their families living with disability. Participating students gain practical experience and insight into the unique joys and challenges experienced by all the family members as they serve on a regular basis over the course of a semester.
