Financial Overview

Trip Cost

The cost supports international travel, living and ministry expenses.

 

 

The total trip cost is $7,000 . This amount may be fundraised or paid directly by each intern. Each intern is responsible for ensuring the full amount is covered. By January 31, at least $4,000 must be raised or paid. By May 31, the remaining $3,000 must be raised or paid.

​

 

Trip funds are used exclusively for program-related expenses and are allocated as follows: $5,000 for the Nicaragua Trip ($1,500 for travel, $2,000 for living and work expenses, and $1,500 for overall ministry), $1,500 for the Mexico Trip, and $500 for additional conferences and retreats.

​

 

Interns are required to have a mentor outside of the program to support and guide them through the fundraising process.

​

Financial Support Provided 

​

Housing: Provided for the duration of the internship

​

Monthly Stipend:

September to June: $650 per month (Stipend amounts during this period depend on days worked and program goals being met)

Financial Perspective 

While interns contribute $7,000 toward trip costs, they also receive significant financial support throughout the year:

​

• $6,500 in stipends from September to June

• Approximately $3,000 in Senior Staff pay during the summer

• Housing provided for the full year​

​

Taken together, the internship is structured to be financially realistic while sustaining the full scope of the program.
