Research Internships with Nonprofits
If you’re looking for a research internship abroad, we have some exciting opportunities for you. We facilitate customized research projects with a wide range of academic focus areas. We will work with you to design a thesis project/research internship that has your desired focus and learning outcomes, and you’ll be doing your research with a nonprofit organization, focusing on their cause-driven agenda. It’s a great opportunity to do innovative research in an international, nonprofit context.
Wildlife Research Internships
If it’s a wildlife focus you’re interested in, you can join us in stunning locations around the world for exciting field research into a variety of animals and biodiverse regions. You’ll join an organization focused on wildlife conservation and your research project will help support their ongoing initiatives and overall mission.
Communications Research Internships
We regularly host communications students who need to do research, a thesis assignment, or product design as part of their degree. These internships can usually be done remotely, and they can focus on areas such as market research, communications strategies, specific communications or fundraising campaigns, branding, or visual media. The exact focus of the research will depend on the organization’s need, requirements from your university, and your personal interests and skills.

Or, if you’re looking for a research internship with a different focus area, please get in touch, and we can look at customizing a program for you. We can facilitate research programs with the following focus areas;
- Environmental Science, Food Security, Urban Greening, Permaculture, Agroecology
- Psychology, Sociology, and Pedagogy
- Visual Media, Photography, and Visual Anthropology
- Gender Equality and Women’s Rights

As a research intern, you can be based in one of our many enticing internship destinations. Depending on the nature of your research and the organization you’ll be engaging with, it may also be an option to work remotely or on a hybrid model.
