World Council of Churches Internship Program 2018
The program’s overarching goal is to strengthen church and ecumenical relations with the churches and create benefits for young people through:
- capacity building
- ecumenical formation
- regional relations
- international and multicultural exposure
- leadership building for work in the churches
The program offers an 18-month program for four young people aged 21-29. Interns are assigned to work for 12 months at the WCC offices in Geneva, Switzerland in one of the program areas of the WCC. This is then followed by a six-month work placement in the intern’s own country.
