Dive into a hands-on, personalized internship focusing on gender equality, especially in education and sexual health, within low-income Indigenous communities.

As an intern, you’ll help identify key problems and co-create sustainable solutions with community members, schools, and other stakeholders. OUR METHODOLOGY Our internships use Design Thinking to co-create solutions with local stakeholders. You will learn to observe, ideate, and prototype in real contexts, building skills while supporting sustainable change. During weekends—or before and after your stay—you will also have the chance to explore Ecuador’s incredible diversity, from the Amazon rainforest to the Galápagos Islands.
