Social Impact & Community Engagement Internships
Program Overview
Education
Our Community & Non-Profit Internships in education aim to tackle the challenges faced by rural schools in Nepal, where limited resources and language barriers often hinder students’ ability to succeed in foundational subjects like science and math. The Urban-Rural Teaching Fellowship addresses these challenges by empowering local teachers and students through bilingual education, helping to bridge the gap between urban and rural learning environments.
Interns will work alongside rural teachers, students, and community leaders to enhance educational outcomes. Whether through supporting bilingual curricula, developing creative teaching resources, or directly engaging with students, this internship creates meaningful, hands-on learning opportunities. Interns may assist in designing science and math lesson plans that cater to local needs, improving student comprehension, and fostering a love for learning despite resource constraints.
By immersing themselves in local classrooms and communities, interns will gain a deep understanding of the educational gaps that exist in rural Nepal and contribute to building sustainable, contextually relevant solutions that empower students and educators alike. This experience is ideal for those passionate about improving education access and making a long-term impact on the future of rural students.
Potential programs:
Public Health
In Nepal, public health challenges are often compounded by rural and underserved communities facing limited access to quality healthcare, sanitation, and health education. Our Community & Non-Profit Internships in public health offer students the chance to address these issues by working directly with local organizations on the frontlines of community health initiatives.
Interns will engage in projects that focus on improving healthcare access, raising awareness about key health issues, and supporting local health systems. Whether it’s designing and implementing health education campaigns, working on sanitation and hygiene initiatives, or conducting research in rural health settings, interns will collaborate closely with community health workers, local governments, and other stakeholders to create real, positive change.
Through this hands-on experience, interns will gain a deep understanding of the public health challenges facing Nepal’s diverse communities and contribute to sustainable, community-driven solutions. By empowering local communities with the tools and knowledge to improve their health outcomes, interns play a pivotal role in advancing public health goals at the grassroots level.
Potential programs:
Community Development
Community development in Nepal addresses the root causes of poverty, inequality and limited access to essential services. Through this internship track, participants immerse themselves in rural and urban communities, collaborating directly with local NGOs, grassroots groups and community leaders to co-create sustainable solutions.
Interns work on initiatives that enhance livelihoods, promote education, empower women, strengthen health systems and improve social infrastructure. This hands-on experience builds skills in community organizing, participatory planning, and inclusive development, all while contributing to long-term impact.
Whether you’re designing a school program, supporting women’s cooperatives, or helping build resilient local economies, this internship places you at the heart of meaningful, community-led change.
