Internship & Apprenticeship
Make a positive impact while boosting your career!
Certificates are provided to all interns
In addition to short-term volunteer options, we offer internships and apprenticeships. All our volunteer programs are potential internship placements without any addidional requirements or costs! Interns and apprentices generally come for 1-12 months and contact us well in advance to inform us about university or academic advisor requirements and the conditions under which they wish to do their internship.

If this entry makes its way on the internet and you are considering volunteering here, if you can give a time commitment of a couple of weeks the benefit to both you and the beneficiaries will be really worth while.

We are happy to communicate with academic institutions
and comply with their requirements and provide all materials and references necessary for interns to receive course credit for their intern work. Certificates are provided to all interns upon completion of their internships.
I found myself spending whole mornings thinking out lesson plans that might engage the students and was continually delighted at how attentive, enthusiastic and interested the students were in lessons. It felt incredible how quickly I struck up a relationship with the students learning as much, if not more from them, as they did from me.

The typical intern
A typical intern or apprentice needs to be enthusiastic, willing to learn, ready for a challenge, has a desire to take initiative and dedicates a lot of caring and passion to the position. Friendliness, care, commitment and patience are among important qualities. We welcome interns regardless of age, experience or background. You don't have to speak fluent Spanish as we provide 16 hours of Spanish classes every week, full onsite support and 24 hour back-up from our local staff.

Choose level of Involvement
Specialize or Diversify
Every volunteer & intern has the opportunity to be involved in as many or as few activities they would like. We encourage volunteers and interns to form schedules which work for them.
Volunteers decide how many hours they want to
work. We recommend a minimum 3 days a week. You may work as much as 5
days and as many hours you wish.
We emphasize that we focus on excellence and not on quantity.
Why we need Imterns
Interns - The driving Force
Interns and Volunteers are the driving force of Aldeas de Paz' work, both through their volunteering and through their financial contributions.
Interning with us is a great opportunity to work side by side with locals, learn new skills, study Spanish, and immerse oneself in the Latin and indigenous culture.
Certificates are provided to all interns.

Why Intern?
Our NGO Administration program is particularly appealing to interns, however any of our programs can be done as internships.
Costs are the same as for volunteers.
The structure of your internship depends greatly on your school requirements.
We work in close contact with your school and make sure that requirements are met
and certificates and references are issued.
