The Ciudad Refugio Internships and Practicums program provides students from ministries, bible schools and professional universities opportunity to practice their field of study in a controlled, supervised environment. Due to the diverse nature of the populations served by the foundation students have a unique opportunity to work hands on with populations that would be otherwise difficult to have direct access to.

This program is designed for both local and international students interested in working with programs serving amongst vulnerable populations. Interested individuals should have previous volunteer experience and a basic level of Spanish is required.

Internship opportunities range from 6 months to 2 years. Interested individuals may send a cover letter, resume and a pastoral letter of recommendation to the foundation as the first step in the process.

Professional practicums range from 6 months to 1 year. Qualifying professions include (but are not limited to): social work, psychology, business administration, teaching, culinary, accounting. A cover letter from the participating university, resume and letter of recommendation from an involved professor may be sent to the foundation as the first step in the process.
