Program Intern

As an intern you will have the opportunity to work alongside WE International staff who are committed to helping you develop professional experience as you tackle real goals and offer insight and creativity into the work of WEI. You will get experience in your specific role, but you will also learn about what it takes to manage current initiatives and develop new projects.

Additionally, as an intern, you get to work with a community of individuals who want to change the world, as well as live in beautiful Madison, Wisconsin. Within this collaborative, creative team environment, we guarantee that you will be personally challenged and grow more than you thought possible in just a few short months.

Interns are expected to work at least twice a week in the office for at least 6 hours a week, totaling around 80 – 100 hours during a given term.

These competitive internships are designed to be a learning opportunity for individuals who are interested in pursuing careers in various aspects of NGO work, nonprofit management, international development work, etc. An internship with WEI offers more than work experience; it is an opportunity to make a difference in the world.

Our internships can fit within a wide range of intended careers or proposed majors. Because we have a small staff, our interns take on a lot of responsibility and are crucial to the successful operation of our organization. During your time at WEI, you will gain skills not only through the specific internship you complete, but also from the dynamic environment of which you will be a part.

Roles and responsibilities will differ for each internship area; however, there are some responsibilities that all interns will share including overseeing a project area, attending team meetings, writing content for our social media platforms and newsletters, participating in a mid-term one on one, and wrapping up the term with specific end of term tasks.
