“Prior to joining IJM, I spent three years serving with The Traveling Team, a missions mobilization organization focused on educating and equipping college students to find their role God’s global story. As the Field Operations Church Mobilization intern, I was so encouraged to witness how God is using the church mobilization teams to empower His church around the world to care for the poor and the oppressed in their own communities. At IJM, I greatly enjoyed working alongside such dedicated and passionate Christian professionals who inspire me to wholeheartedly seek God and His heart for justice!”

“Before coming to IJM, I volunteered as a campus chapter leader at my university and a state advocacy leader in Wyoming. As an intern, I loved getting the chance to encourage students around the country and the globe to use their interests and passions to seek justice for those oppressed by violence. The best part of working at IJM is the community of grace and authenticity that I have found in my relationships with fellow interns and staff”
DANIEL
STUDENT MOBILIZATION INTERN, DC
“I graduated from Georgia Southern University with a degree in International Studies. During that time, my heart was burdened for human rights issues around the world, so after finding IJM could use my professional skills in the work of justice, I knew it was the place for me. I was given an administrator role, and though it was challenging, IJM invested in my professional development and taught me how to diligently serve others. The joy I found in living aboard didn’t come from traveling and seeing new places, but from serving with the hardest working and loving people I’ve ever known! ”

ADMINISTRATIVE INTERN, CAMBODIA
“I graduated with degrees in Sociology and History and a minor in Women and Gender Studies. I studied these things to gain a better understanding of how injustices persist throughout the world. I also worked on advocacy events with my university’s IJM campus chapter. I love IJM’s unique and holistic solution to address the problem of violence. I also enjoyed using my previous experience to bring people into IJM’s current efforts and campaigns.”
