Program Information
In Ireland, many charities form an essential part of the country’s infrastructure and are partially funded by the state, to assist with the provision of social services for enhanced health and wellbeing. Diverse charities serve communities to provide advice, information, advocacy and support. NGOs also work to advance various causes, related to environment, human rights, animal welfare, health, education, or other. Internships provide insight into the challenges and rewards of this field, working to generate positive change for communities and future generations.
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, and onsite student support. See our full list of fees and inclusions on our
website.
Eligibility Requirements
Charity & NGO Support internships in Ireland are suitable for students and recent graduates with at least one year of relevant college/university study in a related field, such as Law, Social Work, Human Rights, International Relations, Political Science, etc.
This internship is conducted in English.
Internship Details
Charity & NGO Support interns collaborate with institutions, to support and improve social and environmental infrastructure for communities. Come prepared to put your passions into action, as you learn about the daily operations of organizations which strive to make a difference. Gain an understanding of effective ways to help communities. To excel in this sector, broadly transferable soft skills are essential - interns have excellent scope to build upon cultural intelligence, communication skills, and administrative prowess.
Charity & NGO Support internships in Dublin provide insight into how the specific needs of communities may be supported and addressed. Practical activities for interns can be related to assistance with donations, vocational training programs, fundraising, reporting, administrative support, and content creation for campaigns and promotions.
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.
Understand that individual internship experiences vary, as the specific placement that you’re assigned will depend on review of your resume and your current level of studies and experience. Therefore, if you’re at a more introductory level, you should reasonably expect a more introductory internship. Likewise, if you’re interning for a shorter duration, you will have a different experience from someone who is interning for a longer duration. Placement preferences are considered but always subject to availability.
