Internships Available for Almost Everyone
Students, retirees, and volunteers available for several months service in Germany are eligible for internships at the Pastorius Haus. We offer internships year-round, usually in 3-month time frames. Interns have helped make the Pastorius Haus successful. They have an excellent chance to improve their fluency in German, to begin/continue studies in Germany, or to start future travel.
Interns help to serve breakfast, clean rooms and baths, change linens and operate the Haus during houseparents' free time. Interns find time to study, to travel, and to socialize. Room and breakfast is offered, however, there is NO SALARY. We consider all applicants with preference to FOCUSED GERMAN LANGUAGE COLLEGE STUDENTS. Recommendations and references required.
