Summer Internship in Uganda (June 5th – August 7th, 2023)
We have provided opportunities for people to serve on trips to Uganda, Africa for over 15 years and we love it! We now have a 40+ acre missions base that hosts hundreds of people every year for short-term missions and internship opportunities. Our Ugandan staff team consistently serves in surrounding villages and they joyfully lead individuals/teams throughout the year! Our mission in everything we do is to mobilize, inspire and empower people to live on purpose while reaching out in love. We believe that everyone was created by God with a special purpose and plan. Our goal is to see that purpose discovered, nurtured and fulfilled. We’ve seen individual’s passions ignited and dreams awakened after they’ve said “yes” to serve with us. Our internship program was created for you to set yourself apart for up to 9 weeks to pursue your passions and work alongside our leadership team. Come join us as we serve the needy and vulnerable in the surrounding villages! You will have the opportunity to spend time with children, families, individuals and elderly that we serve on a regular basis. We would love for you to join us in serving these beautiful communities and showing them the love of Jesus!
Where
We will pick you up at the Entebbe International Airport in Kampala. You will be brought to our beautiful base just North of Kampala, where you will stay the duration of your trip. Everyday our team visits local surrounding villages to do ministry. You will have an opportunity to serve in multiple capacities, and visit multiple villages depending on your interests. Your meals will be provided on base by our cook, and at the end of your stay we will take you back to the airport. We look forward to hosting you! The internship cost for up to 9 weeks is $3,000 and provides all transportation, safe lodging with 24/7 security, all meals and clean water. This cost does not include airfare, vaccines, visa ($50), souvenirs and other personal travel costs.
