Global Internship Program | Samaritan's Purse

Do you feel called by God to bring hope to a hurting world?

The Samaritan’s Purse Global Internship Program is an opportunity for college students and recent graduates to use their skills to impact the world in a tangible way. Whether at our Canadian Ministry Centre in Calgary, Alberta or in one of our field offices around the globe, young professionals will learn the intricate working of an international nonprofit and be part of bringing relief and the hope of the Gospel to hurting people. Internships at Samaritan’s Purse open the door for further opportunities at the ministry, including our apprenticeship program and possible full-time employment.
