Remote Internships with Grassroots Organizations

My internship placement with the Wellness Africa Foundation through Roots Interns has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The program provided structured guidance while still allowing me to take ownership of meaningful policy work that aligned with my academic goals. Communication with both Roots and the host organization was supportive and responsive, ensuring that I felt prepared and valued throughout. I would highly recommend Roots Interns to any student seeking an opportunity to apply their studies in a real-world, globally relevant context.

I had same excellent experience overall from start to finish. Everyone was incredibly helpful and I learned valuable skills to take with me in my future endeavors. My main tasks were: Organizer student files and profiles, create fundraisers, review social media posts, research.

I am very satisfied with this internship opportunity. During my time here, I was able to broaden my horizons and gain valuable knowledge about water-related issues and how they are addressed within the textile industry. I felt that my contributions were valued, as my ideas were consistently listened to and taken into consideration. I learned how to work effectively in a remote setting while balancing my studies and personal life, which has made me feel more prepared and confident to enter the workforce after graduation. Getting to collaborate with great colleagues and engage directly with experts in the water field, gave me deeper insights into the challenges and solutions surrounding water stewardship.
