What's Included

This is a multi-faceted Social Work & Community Outreach internship, where interns help to overcome inequalities that exist in underprivileged communities. Interns can be placed in NGOs, rehabilitation centers, charities and with community programs that provide assistance to address specific social issues such as alcohol and drug abuse, domestic abuse, youth pregnancy and unemployment.

Interns can help to improve access to vital healthcare services. In the communities you’ll work in, people are at risk of contracting preventable disorders, such as malnutrition, anemia, tuberculosis and respiratory disease, HIV/AIDS, diabetes, hypertension, and alcoholic liver disease.

You’ll deliver medical supplies, help raise awareness of healthcare practices and issues, provide guidance and support in individual recovery journeys, all while gaining insight into diverse challenges, and how they are managed on a day-to-day basis. Interns travel alongside social workers and/or medical professionals, making welfare visits in homes, receiving cases and referrals from the local community, visiting community health centers, assisting with health promotion, addiction and health education, making observational reports, developing vocational training programs, general facility support and teaching English language, literature and writing.

As an intern, you’ll learn about the prevalence of social and health issues in these unique communities, as well as how best to address them. You’ll also be making a significant difference to the lives of local people, exchanging ideas, reducing stigma surrounding mental health and providing a safe space to get the care and support they need.
