Description:

Exodus Refugee Immigration is dedicated to the protection of human rights by serving the resettlement needs of refugees and other forcibly displaced people fleeing persecution, injustice, and war by welcoming them to Indiana. We began in 1981 with the mission to serve the legal needs of immigrants and Cuban refugees who had arrived as part of the Mariel boatlift in 1980. Since that time, Exodus has helped thousands of refugees establish their lives in Indiana. In its 40-year history, Exodus has served refugees and other forcibly displaced populations from 50 different countries. Our board of directors, staff, and volunteers are passionate about securing the dignity and human rights of people around the globe. Exodus Refugee Immigration is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization. In 2020, we welcomed 175 refugees from the following countries: Burma, Democratic Republic of Congo, Syria, Afghanistan, Sudan and Eritrea. ABOUT OUR INTERNSHIPS All internships are unpaid. Interns are reimbursed for mileage but are otherwise responsible for all costs of living. We are happy to support interns who wish to get academic credit for their work with Exodus. Internship commitments vary but preference will be given to applicants who are available for a minimum of 16 hours per week for 10 weeks or more. To apply, please complete an internship application on our website. You will be asked to attach your cover letter and resume in the application. Development and Communications interns must also include 2 writing samples. If you have any questions, please contact Jericho Jones, Volunteer Coordinator, at jjones@exodusrefugee.org.
