Affordable Law & Human Rights Support Internships Abroad

This experience gave me a greater understanding of how organisations can work across borders to support communities. One of the most meaningful parts of my internship was learning about healthcare initiatives supporting refugee communities and international partnerships providing medical care to people affected by conflict and displacement. Seeing how resources can be used to improve the lives of both citizens and non-citizens showed me the impact that advocacy, collaboration, and compassion can have. I left Valencia feeling more motivated to pursue a career where I can contribute to positive change.

What I enjoyed most about the Human Rights & NGO Support internship in South Africa was the people and the overall experience of being in a new environment. I appreciated working with supportive colleagues and being around others from different backgrounds, which made the experience more meaningful. This internship helped me grow personally by making me more open-minded and independent. Professionally, I gained experience in communication, teamwork, and working on real projects. The internship also helped confirm my interest in international development and gave me a better understanding of how the field works.

I enjoyed being able to explore a new city and culture over a few weeks, and being exposed to different working cultures and expectations. This has contributed to both my personal and professional development, through for example resilience, as when I found being abroad challenging I challenged myself to keep going. Being surrounded by people from all over the world also broadened my cultural understandings.

I really enjoyed working and living in Madrid, Spain and I've gained invaluable experience in the legal field that has (and hopefully will) continue to be helpful in my professional development moving forward!

The friends that I made and met through my internship as fellow interns there opened my eyes to the diverse backgrounds that Intern HQ helps connect people with. I also gained valuable perspectives on how to interact with diverse groups of people with differing abilities, ages, and culture.

InternHQ delivered an amazing internship experience, combining real-world professional development with exceptional support throughout. From the beginning onboarding procedure to the conclusion of my placement, everything was handled with care and quickness. The team was communicative and responsive, ensuring that I was matched with a placement that suited my interests and ambitions. Once in New York, I felt supported and ready to tackle both the workplace and the city itself. The placement was important, and I was assigned responsibilities that allowed me to truly contribute and learn—rather than merely observe. A special thank you to Marc, whose guidance and support were invaluable during my internship. His professionalism, support, and response helped me feel grounded and confident throughout the process. InternHQ always made me feel like they were genuinely interested in my experience. Their team was responsive, thoughtful, and clearly committed to each intern's success. I would highly suggest this program to anyone searching for a meaningful and respected internship abroad.

I had a fantastic month in Jordan filled with culturally rich experiences. I was able to meet friendly people, eat amazing food and see beautiful historical sites. Most of my time was spent at my Internship at a women’s empowerment non-profit organisation. They had a multitude of projects targeting marginalised groups in society. I specifically worked on programme meant to equip young orphaned girls with productive skills to stimulate sustainable career paths as well as using brain health exercises to promote positive self esteem’s and self images. Through supporting this project I was able to meet people from all walks of life and all different motivations which help to grow my culture competence amongst other things. I was able to see the practical work that human rights NGO’s do in an international context. This was instrumental in my personal growth but also my professional development as I was able to get an adept first hand experience in my future career path.
