  • Description

    NGO Internships combine your skills with the needs of the host community in order to create the most beneficial experience for both you and those in need. ProWorld offers development focused internships in these fields: Health Care, Environment, Business, or Education. Work on grass roots development projects with the local community; help vaccinate children, teach reading, reforest depleted ecosystems, or educate small businesses.

    Programs are highly supported by an onsite staff team and welcoming community partners. ProWorld, founded in 1998, is a true leader in the fields of study abroad and international development.

    Teams of ProWorld Project Coordinators work year round with our host communities assessing needs, thinking creatively, and setting long-term goals for sustainable development and volunteer projects. Programs start every month of the year. Enroll now!
