For many students, interning at El Pozo is the next step they would like to take after graduating. In order to give them the best experience, we give them a partial salary and ask them to fundraise a percentage as well. Fundraising to work in ministry is a bit of a foreign concept in many countries outside of the United States, and so having funds for them to get started as they learn fundraising is a much more sustainable future in ministry for them. Our program is designed so that, as an intern, they are continually having new fundraising goals to meet to provide a bridge if they choose to be on staff after their intern year.
