    About the program

    NGO Management Internship:   

    Volunteers/interns support our organization 6 hours a day - 4 days a week from Monday to Thursday in different activities such as:

    . Educational projects

    This project involves in supervising and teaching English or German language to a local community. Interns will supervise other volunteers in creating exams for each level. Interns will also supervise our Kids Explorer program (boy & girl scout) with the organization of environmental education activities including reforesting and excursions to the Amazon Rainforest.

    . Finances

    An important aspect of managing a non-profit organization is finance. As an NGO management volunteer intern, you will be supporting accounting processes, working with spreadsheets and financial performance metrics and reports.

    . Social Media/Website

    As a rapidly growing organization, we are always expanding current projects and creating new ones whilst running community events. There’s a lot going on at our NGO every week and we need help documenting it all! You will be supporting by taking photos and making videos of all the ongoing activities as content for our social media platforms and website.

    . Project monitoring, data analysis and evaluation

    Many of our ongoing projects require monitoring and evaluation of the project’s progress for current and future sponsors. NGO management interns can get involved in designing and carrying out surveys in the local community and teaching place, analyzing data and report writing.

    . General project maintenance

    NGO management volunteer interns are also needed to support other volunteer interns and staff in the maintenance of our reforestation sites, permaculture garden, dry toilet units and more. This gives you a great opportunity to learn about and apply their knowledge and skills in a variety of aspects of sustainable development.

    We are a non-profit organization and as such we do not distribute any surplus income as profit or dividends. Nonetheless, just as a for-profit organization, we have costs for our operations which we need to cover in order to be able to exist.

    By being a non-profit, we can keep costs down and make our placements more accessible than other programs. We aim to keep our operational costs as low as possible by working efficiently, ensuring that we can make a real and positive impact in the present and are able to keep the organization moving forward into the future. One of our main sources of regular income are the financial contributions from our volunteer/interns for their placements, without these we would not be able to pay our staff or sustain our organization. Your financial contribution also directly funds our projects, so you are having a positive impact just by signing up.
