Are IJM internships/fellowships paid?

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.

IJM offers remote part-time and full-time internships and fellowships. Flexible scheduling may be available based on academic requirements.
