Are you a college/university student or recent graduate eager to be a future change-maker and make a meaningful impact on the world? Samaritan’s Purse Canada is thrilled to announce the opening of applications for our 2026 Summer Internship Program!

Samaritan’s Purse is a Christian international relief organization providing spiritual and physical aid to hurting people around the world. Since 1970, Samaritan’s Purse has helped meet the needs of people who are victims of war, poverty, natural disasters, disease, and famine with the purpose of sharing God’s love through His Son, Jesus Christ.

The Samaritan’s Purse Internship Program offers college and university students, and recent graduates, a valuable opportunity to apply their education and skills to make a tangible difference in the lives of those we serve around the world. This program provides unique exposure to the operations of an international relief and development organization – including our vital ministry and evangelistic outreach. Interns are carefully selected based on their qualifications and will contribute to a variety of positions across the organization, working alongside our team to gain practical, on-the-job training in areas such as technical skills, administration, logistics, and ministry support.

We strive to match each intern with a placement that best utilizes their unique skills and experience. We are currently accepting applications for internships within the following teams:

As an intern, you’ll gain valuable hands-on experience in volunteer coordination, equipping and empowering the church, crisis and recovery response, and strengthening communities to be prepared for future crises.

• Operation Christmas Child – contribute to a meaningful cause that brings joy and hope to children in need around the world. Interns may gain experience in event coordination, awareness campaigns, and logistical support.
• Programs and Projects – this team is responsible for the development, coordination, and implementation of the organization’s various humanitarian, relief programs, and disaster response worldwide. Interns may take part in project research and planning, monitoring and evaluation, and resource development.
