Build a career in women’s empowerment with us
Our passionate interns focus on empowering women and girls from underserved communities around the world. They do this through joining programs in educational enhancement, healthcare education, and social enterprise and income initiatives.
Women’s empowerment internships: Expertise matched with soft skills training
Successfully completing your women’s empowerment internship means you will have gained hands-on practical experience and leadership skills, managed your own international travel, and immersed yourself in new languages and cultures.
The value of experience
The purpose of your women’s empowerment internship is without a doubt to contribute to a mission that is bigger than yourself. This is your life and your chance to help affect real change for women in the world, and you can make that purpose last for the long run in your career.
Your women’s empowerment internship is also hugely valuable on your resume as you enter university or the job market, or prepare for a career change.
It speaks to the quality of your soft skills – you can cope in new and challenging situations, adapt quickly and independently, and you are invested in being an active global citizen. All of this, paired with the expertise you acquire in women’s empowerment itself, helps set you apart as you seek a university placement or professional role.
