Refugee Internships in Cape Town, South Africa

VACorps offers internship placements with a non-government organization in Cape Town, South Africa, that supports asylum seekers. Interns will equip refugees and asylum seekers with practical and technical skills for employment. They will also facilitate the process of initiating income-generating ventures to foster self-reliance and economic independence. Apart from these tasks, they will advocate and lobby with relevant state departments, network with stakeholders, and engage in fundraising activities to support refugee programs in the greater Cape Town area. The majority of vulnerable refugees reside in marginalized and deprived communities known for high unemployment and a lack of socioeconomic progress. Even those who live with their friends or relatives in the suburbs are faced with high levels of unemployment and no source of income. Owing to limited opportunities, even highly educated & skilled refugees or asylum seekers find it difficult to thrive in South Africa. To join this program, applicants must have a background in Sociology, International Relations, Political Science, Psychology, Geography, Anthropology, Social Work, and/or display prior experience in the field.
