Internships

GLP’s internship program offers students the opportunity to make sustainable impact while learning and exploring the beauty of Africa and her people. We provide academic internships with organizations of all levels and sectors: NGO’s, SMEs, Universities, and others who share the common value of sustainable development, youth empowerment, gender equality, climate change, poverty eradication, and community capacity building.

When you intern abroad with GLP, you can use your internship for school credit. Speak with your advisor to see how to apply for academic credit. You will gain cross-cultural skills and understanding of international work in a development environment differentiating you from other candidates in the job market
