FAQ

WHO CAN INTERN WITH FOJ?
Anyone! Our only requirement is that interns are at least 18 years of age. We have had interns from all over, of all areas of study. Throughout the application process we can all determine if we are a good fit for you!
HOW DO I APPLY?

Contact Fernando at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for application info!

WHAT DOES AN INTERNSHIP WITH FOJ LOOK LIKE?
Our interns get to choose which facets of our ministry (prevention, intervention, or restoration) to focus on, but will experience all three! We can personalize your experiences based on your interests and personality. Internships with Face of Justice include relational ministry, organizational and administrative support, government relations, and outreach to many different populations. Some days look like meeting a friend from the streets for coffee. Others might include leading a Bible study in the Red Zone, or working on projects with the girls in our safe house. Sometimes it is doing government research and training on the issue of human trafficking and sexual exploitation. You will live in our ministry center with other interns and teams, a full-time part of our staff and our family!
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
The cost is $800 per month (includes housing, food, and transportation). You will be encouraged to raise a little more for your personal expenses and to invest in people you meet during the ministry opportunities.
IS THIS KIND OF MINISTRY DANGEROUS?
Your safety is a high priority to us. Although we go into difficult places, we have taken precautions to ensure that when we take interns and volunteers out into the streets, we know we will not be in harm’s way. In the handful of threatening situations we have been in, we always have a backup plan. We have an established, respected presence in the city, and we know the areas of town that we go to very well.
DO I NEED TO SPEAK SPANISH?
Spanish ability always helps, but it is not necessary! Your heart to serve is very appreciated and needed in our ministry, no matter your language ability. We have a handful of translators, and the majority of our staff speak both Spanish and English. Costa Rica is very tourist friendly, and there are many ways for you to be able to navigate life as a native English speaker.
WHAT DOES LIFE IN COSTA RICA LOOK LIKE?
We spend time in coffee shops, in meetings, on the streets, resting, and exploring Costa Rica! You will spend time in community, and in environments where you can be encouraged and supported. If you come during the summer, it is likely you will be able to join team excursions, and we will plan intern adventures to see the beauty of Costa Rica!
WHEN CAN I COME AS AN INTERN?
Whenever! We offer internships yearlong for any amount of time.
