NGO & Non-Profit
Internships FAQ

Non-profit internships offer professionals the immersive experience of working with charities that advance social causes such as sustainability, humanitarian aid, environmental protection, and more.

As a non-profit intern, your day would look like working with many professionals to raise awareness about your cause, engage with donors, execute fundraising events and campaigns, and constantly keep a few maintenance operations under your tab.
Most often, since NGOs and non-profit organisations run on volunteering and donations, they are not in a position to hire paid interns. Once you progress your career through a few roles, you might be in a better position to claim paid NGO opportunities abroad.

Having said that, Capital Placement hosts a few fundraising and charity institutions that also hire paid interns. These employers are mostly offering paid opportunities for non-profit internships abroad, including locations like London, New York, and Singapore. The possibility of obtaining a paid NGO internship depends on your program, employer preferences, and your level of experience.
