NGO Support Internship in Belize.
Program Information
Communities in Belize are supported by the work of NGOs, which can be significantly involved in developing society. Students and young professionals seeking insight into how such teams work to promote change - whether broadly or locally - can use NGO Support internships as a platform for professional development. English is used as an official language in Belize, enabling immersive and dynamic learning opportunities.
This program ranges from 4-12 weeks and has start dates every Monday throughout the year.
Your fully-hosted experience includes sourcing of your internship placement, personalization of your project plan, airport pick-up, orientation, accommodation, meals, and onsite student support. See our
full list of fees and inclusions on our website.
Eligibility Requirements
Suitable for students and recent graduates with at least one year of relevant college/university study in a related field, such as Sustainable Development, Political Science, Communications, Commerce, Economics, Finance, Business Administration, Management, etc.
This internship is conducted in English.
Internship Details
NGO Support internships in Belize offer broad opportunities to get involved with different aspects of operations - be they focused on finance, marketing, communications, education, strategy, or other essential areas. Come prepared to make a creative contribution, assisting with fluidity, to learn about the challenges and opportunities facing diverse community-based organizations.
Typically, placements are focused on either environmental priorities or human rights / LGBT led policy and advocacy. If you have a preference, you will be welcome to state it - it will be accommodated, subject to availability. In all cases, interns should expect that the first week of your experience will focus on settling in and gaining some introductory knowledge, as you will not “hit the ground running”. Rather, you should start with learning about the placement to gain an understanding of what you can build upon, develop, learn, and contribute. Ensure that you ask questions and provide feedback during the introductory period, so that your supervisor(s) understands how you’re progressing. This will help them to better understand important details, such as how quickly you learn, what you find challenging, what you find interesting, etc.
