Leadership Internship - Certificate IV

^{TRAINING THAT'S MAKING A DIFFERENCE}

^‍The Leadership Internship is an internship with a difference! This is a two-year, hands on course that trains you in the core aspects of being a full-time volunteer with YWAM anywhere in the world. The skills and knowledge you will gain during this two year period will apply too much more than just the missions context; they can be transferred to your next job, ministry opportunity, or further study.

During the course you will work as a full time volunteer staff member with us.

The Leadership Internship gives you the opportunity to gain ministry skills and experience all while empowering you to help build healthy lives, communities, and nations in a variety of expressions.
