Paid OPT Internship
International Friendships Inc
IFI Ministry Training Program
This is a general inquiry for recently graduated international students to indicate interest in doing a ministry training program (called ISEED) while working part-time in their field of study (20 hours/week) in a paid internship either at our organization or another local business. Internationals will use an OPT work authorization as part of this opportunity.

The ISEED Program is a 10-12 month training program that prepares international students who are followers of Jesus to share God's love globally. Participants must commit to spending 20 hours each week at their paid internship and 20 hours each week on the ISEED program curriculum and activities. Sessions start in July and January every year.
