World Relief is a global Christian humanitarian organization whose mission is to boldly engage the worlds greatest crises in partnership with the church. The organization was founded in the aftermath of World War II to respond to the urgent humanitarian needs of war-torn Europe. Since then, for 80 years, across 100 countries, World Relief has partnered with local churches and communities to build a world where families thrive and communities flourish.

Today, organizational programming focuses on humanitarian and disaster response, community strengthening and resilience, and refugee & immigrant services and advocacy.

Are you outgoing and like to connect with people from other languages and cultures? Do you want to use your English-speaking skills to build bridges of support for others as they integrate into their new community? World Relief seeks an English Conversation Partners (ECP) Intern to join our team! This position supports all World Relief Sacramento departments and our specific education outreach initiative by providing direct English conversation practice to immigrants seeking to increase their English communication skills. The intern will work with the World Relief Sacramento Education team and the regional volunteer coordinator to directly support volunteers involved in this program, as well as will have the opportunity to work directly with clients as an English Conversation Partner. This position requires English language fluency (not required for English to be their first language, but English proficiency is expected). The intern will support the client-volunteer matching process and will provide administrative assistance related to client enrollment and volunteer hours. This position requires a commitment to a set schedule and is ideal for interns pursuing studies in Education, TESOL, Social Work, or related fields. This position is for 10 hours per week with a hybrid schedule of 2 days in the office and 3 days working from home. The intern will gain cross cultural experience, become more familiar with the integration and learning needs of refugees, learn effective teaching techniques for second-language learners, and understand how English skills provide the basis for greater integration into life in the U.S. This is an unpaid internship; however, university credit may be available with prior approval.

While some internships are unpaid, the program is competitive and you are encouraged to approach it in the same way you would a job. Applicants are required to submit a cover letter, resume, application, and to pass a Criminal Background Check. Incomplete applications will not be considered.

Please note that an internship with World Relief does not guarantee a future job in the organization.
