Social Work Internships in South Africa
Program Overview
Join any of our Social Work Internships in South Africa, and become an integral part of an organization and community’s social development.
Also, open to volunteers, this program entails working alongside established local social workers.

This is a wonderful opportunity to make a lasting difference in the lives of other people, particularly those affected by HIV/AIDS or who have been victims of abandonment and abuse. Throughout the duration (4, 8, 10, or 12 weeks), you will have a highly rewarding experience!
Our Social Work Internships involve placements in local NGOs, clinics, or orphanages. You will work with individuals affected by HIV/AIDS, chronically ill children, or women who have gone through abuse. You may also assist with welfare projects in Cape Town.
