INTERNSHIPS
“I couldn’t ask for a better community of Christ-centered people to do life with for a summer. This summer has challenged me, given me the best friendships, and has helped me grow in my faith.”
- Jamie H. (Summer 2022 intern)

Summer Internships
Are you an enthusiastic, proactive, somewhat-Spanish-speaking college student looking for a faith-based summer internship?
Summer is our peak season, with up to four teams serving on the ground simultaneously. We recruit 8-10 college students each year from Ecuador and the United States to host our teams. Team Hosts guide, translate, and take care of our short-term team members. They serve as the bridge between Ecuadorian and North American culture.
This is a fundraised position, though interns do receive a stipend at the end of the summer.

Gap Year or Semester Internships
Are you looking for a service experience that fits into a less-traditional time frame?
Hope on the Ground receives interns throughout the year. This internship is designed through teamwork between HOTG staff and the intern. Tell us what you are passionate about, and we can find a ministry partner site that will be a good fit.
Live with a host family, improve your Spanish skills, and build deep relationship at one of our ministry sites.
This is a fundraised position.

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit.”
