2026 REACH Cross-Cultural Internship Program

About the Program

REACH is CMF’s eight-week cross-cultural internship program. For over thirty years, REACH interns have partnered with CMF missionaries across the globe, gaining hands-on experience in evangelism, medical care, education, discipleship, social work, business, campus ministry, and more. A REACH internship is, above all, a learning experience. Interns grow in cultural understanding, language exposure, and real-world ministry practice while witnessing God’s work in diverse contexts.
