Iceland Short-Term International Internship (STINT)

Our application helps you and us figure out if an Iceland internship is the right fit. We’re not looking for perfect people, so just be honest in your answers.

This process begins by emailing Agapé UK HR [hr@agape.org.uk] to receive your application. Upon completion of your application, you’ll need to send out reference forms. Once the application is completed and references submitted, Agapé UK will review your application and arrange an interview with you. 

Once accepted, you’ll be trained in how to build a team of partners necessary to raise your finances for this internship.

The cost of a year’s internship varies from person to person and place to place. This cost covers your salary, living expenses, taxes, ministry expenses, relocation costs, etc. Your goal will be developed as you continue in the acceptance process. That might sound a bit daunting, but raising the funds is actually a faith-building and encouraging part of the experience! 

In order to go on the internship, everyone must build a team of partners – friends, family, churches – who support you by praying for you and giving financially. As you develop this team, you’ll often find that God provides all the resources you need; it’s really about trusting Him and making your needs known to enough people so you can connect with those He’s calling to join you. Seeing people support you in this way can be a hugely encouraging part of the journey, and it’s a chance to involve others in what God is in that part of the world!

Agapé UK will provide the necessary training to begin building your team of partners. Agapé UK will provide a staff member who will coach and support you through the process. We require all funds to be raised before the fundraising deadline. If you raise more than you need, you can consider helping someone else. If the deadline is approaching and you’re struggling, we will do our best to provide whatever encouragement or support you need to help you reach your target. Please rest assured that we handle each person’s fundraising situation individually.
