NEXT Teams Internship

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 2027!

The Next Teams 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 Teams 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. “Field 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. Our office is in Plano).
• If you are a college student and doing this internship for program credit, we are willing to adapt project needs to meet program requirements.
• 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.
• Although this internship is unpaid we expect that you treat this as a job in which you show up to work on time and submit absences in advance.
• 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.

Through participation in meetings and training sessions, the intern will be exposed to all aspects of East-West to understand best practices in missions as well as standards of excellence in all of the organization. All interns receive a well-rounded snapshot of the inner workings of an evangelical, non-profit, missio-centric, organization. Through research, shadowing, brainstorming, and assisting in projects and tasks, the ultimate objective of the East-West Internship Program is to provide a progressive learning environment to equip future leaders for ministry.
