We love our office interns and they play a huge role in the daily success of Sozo Children. All office internships with Sozo Children are unpaid, however, you will receive valuable hands-on non-profit work experience and we provide academic credit per your university guidelines.
Successful candidates are typically students or recent college graduates with excellent communication skills, organizational skills, the ability to multi-task, and have an interest in ministry work. Please note that office interns must provide their own laptop, housing arrangements and transportation to our office in Birmingham, Alabama. All internships require 10-15 hours per week.
