WE VET OUR PARTNERS CAREFULLY.

As an intern, you’ll join one of our partner organizations; a nonprofit/social enterprise/NGO addressing social or environmental issues on a grassroots level. We select our partners carefully, ensuring that they do valuable work with a clear mission and vision, and that they offer a safe and well-supervised working environment for our interns. During your internship, you’ll be welcomed into a small team and looked after by your host organization and accommodation.

WE’LL HELP YOU PREPARE FOR YOUR INTERNSHIP.

Once your internship placement is confirmed, we’ll help you prepare for your trip and experience. There’s plenty to arrange such as: visas, flights, university documentation, insurance, and vaccinations. We’ll assist and advise you throughout the process and give you the information you need to properly prepare for a trip abroad. We’ll also provide you with a packing list and an info pack that will ensure you have the right expectations.

WE SET YOU UP WITH SAFE AND COMFORTABLE ACCOMMODATION.

It’s important that you live in a secure place during your internship abroad, so we will arrange the right accommodation for your internship duration. No matter where you’re heading – to the hustle and bustle of Cusco or to a rural village in Malawi – we’ll book accommodation for you that’s safe, affordable, and in a convenient location. We always make sure that you’re a close distance to your host organization, so that getting to work is quick and easy.

WE OFFER CONTINUOUS SUPPORT.

We don’t just prepare you for your trip; we’ll also support you throughout your internship. We make sure that you’re introduced thoroughly to your new home and your host organization so you know who to contact for any assistance. You’ll be guided on a daily basis by your supervisor on the ground, and on top of that, we’ll check in online to make sure things are going smoothly and that you’re having the work experience you were hoping for. If there are any issues, we offer troubleshooting support and can help resolve any concerns about your internship so that you can meet your goals.
