NGO Management Internship in Tanzania

Summary

Art in Tanzania is a self-sustaining non-profit charity NGO. We have been engaged in community-based development work and operating sustainably since 1996.

Details

Art in Tanzania has been active since 1996. Our community placements attract approximately 250 participants each year. Our vision is to provide students with hands-on experience in developing African communities. In addition to your studies, you will have an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience African culture, life, its stunning natural beauty, and diverse wildlife.

Our community programs prioritise empowering local communities and assisting individuals living in poverty.

You can observe Tanzania's daily life and culture while witnessing the growth of one of Africa's fastest-growing economies.

Students will engage in and assist in managing the NGO's daily operations. Simultaneously, you gain valuable experience in running an NGO in developing Africa.

You help manage volunteers' and interns' daily activities across multiple programs. In addition, you create weekly plans and reports, handle budgets and accounts, develop ongoing community programs, and strategise new approaches.

The internship aims to teach how to use and gain experience implementing education in developing countries with limited capacity. Most importantly, it aims to develop work skills for an African non-governmental organisation (NGO).

Academic-level team leaders oversee your daily work. We also track your progress using a weekly planning and reporting system to ensure your success in your placement work.

Additionally, interns collaborate with international students and volunteers in teams to gain a deeper understanding of opportunities in a rapidly growing economy.

Work hours range from 6 to 8 hours daily, Monday to Friday.

The program is ongoing, so the start dates are flexible. Your placement is customised according to your background, experience, and interests to enhance your daily community work.

Daily tasks include practical fieldwork, planning, reporting, and visibility efforts.

The start and end dates are flexible, as all programs are ongoing, with many having been running since 1996.

You and your visiting friends can enjoy affordable, eco-friendly safaris and tours.

We typically have 15 to 40 students from various parts of the world, representing over 400 universities with which we collaborate and a diverse range of professions.

Note that Erasmus+ funding can be applied for the training in Tanzania. You can ask your student office about the grant options.
