Law and Economic Development in Ecuador

August 09, 2025by: lmcdermottProgram: Galapagos Development Internship in Ecuador

During my internship, I worked on legal and economic development for El Terreno, an NGO in rural Ecuador. This experience gave me hands-on skills in stakeholder analysis, legal writing, and economic development. The environment was wonderfully supportive, fun, and multicultural. Within a couple of hours, you can reach a capital city, beaches, islands, jungles, and more!
