The English track at the Cornwall internship is designed to intentionally strengthen language skills while forming confident, mission-minded communicators. Each participant will complete a placement and leveling test upon arrival, ensuring they are supported from their current level and given a clear pathway for growth within a multilevel program (please note this track is not suitable for absolute beginners with no English). Through immersive learning, and long term experienced language tutors, interns will have daily opportunities to speak, converse, present, and engage in real-life contexts, building fluency and confidence.
The goal is not only academic improvement, but the ability to use English effectively in missions, relational evangelism, and cross-cultural friendships. Alongside personal development, participants will volunteer with local churches and community projects across Cornwall and be fully involved in the wider base program—creating a rich environment of practice, service, and authentic relationship-building where language becomes a tool for ministry and meaningful connection.
The worship track at the Cornwall internship will be a space to cultivate hearts that burn first for Jesus before platforms, performance, or recognition. Rooted in the spirit of “the heart of worship” this track will focus on forming worshipers who minister to the Lord with authenticity, humility, and deep devotion. Interns will grow not only in musical skill and team dynamics but in prayer, biblical foundations of worship, and learning to host God’s presence in everyday life.
Alongside personal formation, we will actively support local ministries and initiatives in the worship area, serving churches, community gatherings, and outreach events across Cornwall.
The emphasis will be on intimacy over image, character over charisma, and surrender over spotlight—raising up authentic worshipers whose lives, not just their songs, declare His worth.
What experience do I need?
None needed, you will be serving alongside our full time staff and we will train you as you go.
We just ask that you have a love of Jesus.
Who’s it for?
Whether you have done your DTS or you are new to YWAM, all are welcome.
Perhaps you have a spare few months and you want to give your time to helping others, or perhaps this is your first step into exploring what missions looks like before your DTS, or maybe you are keen to join us as full time staff in Cornwall….. Then internship is for you!
What level of English do I need?
The internship is not an English school but it is designed to strengthen your language skills through the immersion in an English speaking environment. There will be focused English during the week, but you will also be practicing your English skills through immersion in the local YWAM team and ministries in Cornwall.
The English track is suitable for interns who already have a basic foundation in English, but it is not suitable to absolute. Upon enquiry to the internship you can have a video interview to assess your level of English and if the internship will be suitable for you.
What is the Goal of the English Track?
The English track is designed to not only for fluency but also for confidence and purpose, equiping you to use English as a tool to serve in missions.
Is the internship just to learn English?
No, the internship is open to everyone. For some they will be practicing English but for others you will be able to focus on Worship and serving in the different ministries of YWAM Immerse.
