Communications Internship in Hungary
Use your passion for media and communications for God’s glory! Share the stories of what God is doing in Hungary while building your portfolio and experiencing cross-cultural contexts. Whether you love video and film, journalistic writing, graphic design in print or web, photography, or social media, we can customize an internship with specific projects that allow you to use your gifts for a greater purpose. You might cover a Christian rock band’s tour around Hungary; Children's camps among the marginalized Roma community; or local work among the marginalized communities, through written/visual content and social media. Help update the OM Hungary website communicating our ministry or design a printed newsletter for our worldwide partners. Whatever your specific gifts and passions, we can work with you to fill a special need and make a meaningful difference.
