An international development internship is typically offered by non-profit organizations, NGOs, government agencies, or international organizations that work on issues such as healthcare, education, gender equality, and economic development in countries around the world.

You may have the opportunity to collaborate with local communities and organizations in the countries where the organization operates.
Internships in this field can offer a unique opportunity to develop a wide range of skills, such as project management, community outreach, fundraising, public relations, and research.
