About the role

Internationals will use an OPT work authorization as part of this opportunity. Introducing IFI International Friendships, Inc. is a growing faith-based organization, whose mission is to extend life-changing hospitality and friendship to international college students. Staff at IFI are servant leaders, who love helping students from around the world feel at home on their respective campuses in the U.S. We do this by offering services, such as airport pickups, holiday hosting, temporary housing, conversation partnerships, social events and trips, and opportunities to build relationships virtually. ISEED Program The ISEED Program is a 10-12 month training program that prepares international students who are followers of Jesus to share God's love globally. Participants must commit to spending 20 hours each week at their paid internship and 20 hours each week on the ISEED program curriculum and activities. Sessions start in July and January every year.
Pay and Benefits: Pay and benefits will vary based on the company or organization providing the internship. OPT card holders may also volunteer time in their field to meet requirements of their OPT status. International Friendships, Inc. (IFI) is a faith-based organization. Therefore, only those willing to adhere to IFI's statement of faith, core values, and policies will be reviewed for this open position. International Friendships, Inc. is otherwise an equal opportunity employer.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
