Interested in Working at an NGO? Want To Travel Abroad? We’ve Got an Internship for You!
Travel abroad and get involved in bettering your new community. Interns participating in non profit internships are placed within both grassroots organizations and larger international non-profits. This sector is huge: choose to aid a political cause, abused women, drug addiction, street children, cancer awareness, LGBTQ issues, health education, massively underserved populations, both local and immigrant, and many more.
Unlike a for-profit company, oftentimes there is less structure in NGO placements, so these organizations are searching for good candidates who are flexible and can see the bigger picture. These amazingly diverse international non-pfrofit internship placements look good on any resume and tend to change a person for the better.
Candidates placed in NGO’s (non-governmental organizations) in Spain often do legal, social, marketing, and other administrative work. Past Non-profit internship placements include C.EA.R (Comision Espanola Ayuda al Refugiado), Proyecto Hombre, Amnestia Internacional, A.C.U.L.C.O. among others. These organizations re ante from immigrants’ rights services to assisting drug addicts to integrate back into society.
