Eligibility Requirements
Suitable for students and recent graduates with at least one year of relevant college/university study in a related field, such as International Development, Social Work, Law, Political Science, Education, Business, Marketing, etc.
This internship is conducted in English; however, outside of Supervisor interactions, a language barrier should be expected, especially when it relates to local clients. Spanish-language classes are available.
Internship Details
As a NGO support intern in Spain, you’ll be placed with a local NGO or non-profit organization across a broad portfolio of placements. You’ll gain valuable experience learning how organizations work to improve the wellbeing and prospects of those who are disadvantaged or at risk within the community. Such real-world experience is vital if you’re interested in international development, community support, social work, or other fields dedicated to the alleviation of inequality.
Due to the breadth of possible placements, the nature of interns duties can vary greatly. General duties can include (but may not be limited to):
- The promotion and organization of events related to social awareness and training programs,
- Assisting with courses on children’s rights and youth education,
- Carrying out strategies and projects to foster and promote the dignity and rights of people with functional disabilities,
- Promoting women’s rights and gender equality,
- Supporting initiatives for a fairer and more sustainable world,
- Working with at risk men, women and children and victims of social exclusion,
- Developing online content and improving social networks, and
- Maintenance and customer support at homeless centers.
If you have preferences for a particular cause, please let us know when applying. We do our utmost to accommodate requests but arrangements are always made taking into consideration a number of factors, such as level of Spanish speaking proficiency, experience, study background, and chosen internship duration.
