INTERNATIONAL STUDIES, POLITICS & JUSTICE
If your interests lie in social justice, then Kaya can offer you the very best opportunities to intern in an international setting.
Types of International Studies, Politics & Justice Internships
As a social justice intern, there are countless opportunities to work within organizations carrying out research, advocacy and policy activities looking to improve existing systems and norms. Alternatively, you can join our programs working directly with marginalized groups and individuals within communities, providing support, mentoring, skills and opportunity development and other initiatives tackling the causes of inequality at a grassroots level.
The scope of inequality in unfortunately wide. You may choose to focus on issues of gender, LGBTQ+ rights, migration, climate justice, sustainable living, animal rights, child protection, domestic violence, poverty reduction, political representation, access to education and healthcare and more.
Working in NGOs, Charities, Development Programs, Advocacy Groups and Government Initiatives, you can gain valuable experience in all aspects of establishing, maintaining, and managing operations within a development organization.
Working with issues relating to human rights, gender empowerment, poverty reduction, healthcare access, education, sustainable environments, and more, you can learn about the realities of development while advancing the goals of your organization.
