Social Work Internships Abroad

Social work internships abroad offer a powerful way to support underserved communities while gaining hands-on experience in areas like education, healthcare, psychology, human rights, and social justice. Whether you're assisting individuals, families, or entire neighborhoods, you'll develop practical skills, cultural awareness, and a deeper understanding of global issues. More than an internship, it’s a life-changing journey that prepares you to lead with empathy, purpose, and professionalism.

Worth it with GoAbroadChina

April 14, 2025by: Michaela Hoffiman - CroatiaProgram: Paid China Internship: Engineering & Manufacturing Roles
9

Spending my gap year with Go Abroad China was a smart and fun decision. I taught English to local kids, which taught me as much as I taught them. I also joined Mandarin classes that helped me speak with locals and feel part of the culture. Every weekend was a new adventure—cooking classes, markets, and even hiking the Great Wall. I made friends from around the world, felt safe, and grew more confident each day. It truly changed how I see the world.
