This program is good for people in any field of study. BEST's Internship in a Brussels-based Humanitarian Organization or NGO will upgrade your resume with humanitaria content no matter what your major is.

We will arrange for you to obtain work experience in one of Belgium's many non-profit organizations. You will perfect your French in the Belgian capital while you begin to build your career - and make a difference socially!

If your level of French is under intermediate we will direct you to a first-class intensive French course where you will acquire a strong basis and become accustomed to Brussels. These classes commence the first Monday of every month in the Alliance Francaise which is centrally located and fully-equipped catering to the international and European community. We will negotiate your intern schedule in the NGO in order to give you time to participate in the classes as well as optional social activities with students from all over the world. In this way you can acquire a strong basis and become accustomed to Belgium.

You will decide if you want to begin the internship upon completion of the language course or in the afternoons while you are still attending. The classes finish at noon daily.

Following the optional language course, you will begin your part-time (4 hours/daily) internship in one of the divisions of a humanitarian organization such as: press department, logistics, projects, legal, fund raising, volunteer recruitment, event organization, psychology, documentation, etc. Placements are available all types of NGOs dealing in areas such as: women, environment, immigration, children, human rights, development, animals, older adults, politics, business, international relations, regional issues, etc.

Nothing can replace the benefits and fun of first-hand experience!
