The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ self-reliance program teaches important principles in the areas of leadership/emotional resilience, education, employment, and small business development. BYU collaborates with the Church in Latin America by sending qualified students to help support the self-reliance programs in different countries.
Interns with advanced Spanish proficiency will work at Church Self Reliance Centers in select countries in Spanish-speaking Latin America. This internship will offer you the opportunity to learn from and serve others, further enhance your foreign language skills, gain valuable international work experience, and receive academic BYU credit. Selected interns will work closely with the local Church self-reliance managers and leaders to help organize and facilitate Church self-reliance groups and initiatives.
