Government Relations & Advocacy Are IJM internships/fellowships paid?
In our critical efforts to rescue and protect people in poverty from violence, currently IJM does not provide a wage to Interns and Fellows. However, many IJM interns and fellows self-support or fundraise for their IJM internship and fellowship. We acknowledge that fundraising may seem intimidating, but we have experienced great encouragement and success through this process and IJM provides guidance and coaching for those who choose to fundraise.
Does IJM offer part-time internships/fellowships or other kinds of work arrangements?
IJM offers remote part-time and full-time internships and fellowships. Flexible scheduling may be available based on academic requirements.

What does your faith mean to you and what role does it play in your life? You might consider describing your spiritual disciplines (prayer, study, etc.), your current fellowship or place of worship, or a particularly relevant part of your testimony.
