At the same time, you’ll be contributing to important initiatives that are happening at a truly grassroots level around the world. You’ll be a large part of a small team doing something amazing for something you are passionate about.
Please note the following:
- You will not receive a stipend of any kind because all internships with our nonprofit partners are based on a volunteer work placement.
- Fees apply and need to be paid once Roots has secured you a placement. How much you pay depends on your destination, duration of the co-op, and the accommodation type. You will find an indication of the fees with the listing on the Northeastern platform as well as on our website in the section ‘dates and fees’ under each internship listing.
