Intern With Non-Profit Organisations

Join our NGO internship programs abroad and gain practical experience in non-profit organisations working on community development, education, public health, and women’s empowerment. Whether you’re a university student, recent graduate, or someone seeking meaningful volunteer work, these internships offer exposure to real-world projects and local impact.

Interns can expect to contribute to tasks like organising outreach programs, supporting education / teaching projects, assisting with health awareness campaigns, project monitoring & evaluation, fundraising or communications under supervision. Placements are available year-round in developing countries including India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Peru, Costa Rica and more. You’ll develop cross-cultural skills, enhance your resume, and leave with global NGO experience.

NGOs are often on the lookout for volunteers who are highly motivated and self-driven. As a volunteer with an NGO, you gain work experience abroad while the NGO gets much needed help in their operations. Your contribution while partnering with an NGO can involve a wide range of tasks. This includes office work, fundraising, public relations and volunteering at local programs such as women empowerment, animal care, school renovations, and more.

We are partnered with some of the most respectable NGOs in Asia, South Africa and South America who have demonstrated a high level of integrity and quality of work in recent years. Your placement in a specific role will be decided based on your skills and interests, and the requirements of the organization at that specific time.
