Sustainable Development Internship, Zambia
I had a wonderful time working with Roots and my host organization. I was walked through the interview process and appreciated how well my wishes were heard. My interests, schedule, and goals were taken into account at every turn. I felt supported during my stay and the accommodations were very nice. One of the best parts about this internship was how flexible it was. At the beginning, this was a bit of a challenge, but once you find your own rhythm and goals, its a great model.

I felt supported during my stay and the accommodations were very nice. One of the best parts about this internship was how flexible it was. At the beginning, this was a bit of a challenge, but once you find your own rhythm and goals, its a great model. I did everything from working one-on-one with a few of the kids from the school, facilitating a girl power group, working on lesson plans with teachers, helping create a business plan, developing a mission and vision statement, and so much more. Each day was new and different - a real adventure. My whole experience was so pleasant that I decided to come back after my internship and I'll be staying in Zambia for the rest of the year! My life has been changed for the better because of this experience. See More Shelby, American – University of Southern California Price
Female Empowerment Internship, Zambia
I had an incredible time interning in Zambia. Roots facilitated the whole process and provided ample guidance. They were supportive and patient while I worked with my university to ensure the credits would transfer. Any question I had was answered promptly and completely. I felt very supported, safe, and attended to at all times. I cannot recommend Roots enough.I had an incredible time interning in Zambia.
