College Internships

Special note: If you are willing to volunteer and cover your own expenses (housing, meals, etc.), we are still accepting summer 2020 internship applications (click the link below). However, if you want/need to raise sponsorship funds to cover your expenses, we are no longer accepting applications for this summer since it can take an applicant 2-3 months to do so. We are, however, taking applications for 2021 at any time. 

Covid19 Update: At this time (March 31, 2020) all of our internships will continue as planned. If, however, we find that the virus has not peaked by April 20, we are considering pushing all of our internships back one month into August.

Why TWR?

Let's face it: Nowadays, the word "internship" can mean a lot of different things. Depending on where you end up, you might be making copies for eight hours a day or typing numbers into spreadsheets until your eyes hurt.

We can't tell you exactly what your experience as a TWR college intern will look like, but we can guarantee a few things. First, you can be confident that what you do here will matter. Seriously. We're not in the business of creating unpaid copy machine operator positions to fill office space. We need smart, energetic people with fresh perspectives to help us get the good news of Jesus Christ to the world's most unengaged peoples.

Whether you're producing radio programs in Swaziland, managing Web platforms in Singapore, or sharing your ideas with global leadership teams at our headquarters in Cary, NC, you'll be an important part of TWR's main mission: to reach the world for Jesus Christ by mass media so that lasting fruit is produced.

Second, as an intern with TWR, you'll be working with people who are like you in all the right ways and different from you in all the right ways. The global TWR family is united by a deep love for Christ and others, a commitment to the Word of God, and a burning desire to see the kingdom spread to all the nations. But within that united family, there is vibrant diversity. Every day, you'll be interacting with people from around the world, with unique cultural perspectives and years of experience, who will encourage, challenge and grow you in your professional and personal life.

What it comes down to is this: You can search the world over (literally), but you'll be hard-pressed to find an internship as unique, challenging, empowering and fun as one with TWR.

Next Steps

We could go on and on about how awesome a TWR internship is, but the best way to find out if it's right for you is to have a conversation with us. Ready to get started?

We're looking forward to serving with you!

Requirements

There are only a few requirements to apply for an internship with TWR:

  • PLEASE NOTE: The application deadline for supported summer missionary internships (where your expenses are covered by funds you raise) is January 10 (since it takes about 4 months to set this up and raise the funds). After January 10, it's still possible to serve as a volunteer (where you cover all your own expenses) but you would not be able to do this for internship credit.
  • You must be on pace to complete your second year of college before the beginning of your internship.
  • Your major must align with the internship position you're applying for.
  • And You must be willing to raise financial support to cover your stipend and expenses or volunteer (without college credit) and cover all of your own expenses.

That's it! Again, don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
