Student Leadership Internship OPT CPT

Introducing IFI

International Friendships, Inc. is a growing Christian faith-based organization whose mission is to extend life-changing hospitality and friendship to international college students. 

We love helping students from around the world feel at home. 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.

This is a general inquiry for recently graduated international students on OPT or CPT who are interested in participating in a ministry training program (called ISEED).

They have the option to work part-time in their field of study, but this is primarily a ministry training program. 

Internationals will use an OPT or CPT work authorization as part of this opportunity.
