Summer 2026 Internship
Are you passionate about making God known among every nation, tribe, tongue, and people group? Do you want to use your time, talents, and treasures to make an eternal difference?
East-West is a global missions nonprofit with a mission to mobilize the Body of Christ to evangelize the lost and equip local believers to multiply disciples and churches among the unreached. We are looking for interns with a passion for the Great Commission and interest in nonprofit to be a part of our internship program for summer 2026!
The Next Generation Department of East-West is looking for individuals who have a passion for the nations, a servant’s heart, and a love for students (high school and college age). We teach leadership training to our participants and are looking for strong leaders to join our team and join us in this work.
In the Next Generation Department, we are passionate about seeing the next generation experience God’s power around the world. We want to equip them to share their faith, provide them with a chance to serve church planters and train them to be missional leaders.
The intern program is a great way to experience first-hand what it’s like to work for a missions organization. Next Gen Interns will have a chance to serve in the field on two of our NEXT Teams (mission trips for high school and college students), get to know and learn from our mission staff, teach a portion of our Catalyst leadership material and work alongside other interns that have a heart for missions.
Requirements:
- The internship is for students age 16 through senior in college (must be at least 16 years of age and able to drive in DFW metroplex).

- The applicant must have a heart for missions and an ability to multitask well. They must be a self-starter who will take initiative to get projects done.

- Prior mission trip experience of any kind is a plus.
- The applicant must be in good standing with his or her local church, agree with East-West’s Statement of Belief and be able to provide references.
