Global Service Corps (GSC) is pleased to announce the launch of 4 new and
improved Internship Programs in Tanzania
The following GSC internships are ideal for both adults interested in a
long-term service project overseas, and students looking to gain academic
credit or to fulfill University internship and service requirements. Academic
credit can be arranged through SUNY-Albany or through your own college or
university.
The Community Training Internship is designed for individuals who are
specifically interested in working with community groups and would like to
dedicate at least nine full weeks (or more) to conducting community trainings
and program monitoring and evaluation (M&E). Community Training Interns may
choose to focus on either HIV/AIDS prevention and care or Sustainable
Agriculture. By the end of the internship, Community Training Interns will have
gained valuable training experience in their chosen field, as well as in
monitoring and evaluation skills.
The International Health Internship is designed for individuals interested in
pursuing a career in health, especially those interested in International or
Public Health. After completing four-weeks of community training in HIV/AIDS
education, Health Interns divide their following five weeks between shadowing
medical staff at local healthcare facility in the mornings, and pursuing an
additional community development project in the afternoons. Interns will be
able to choose from several community development project options, including
working with a local orphanage and, when appropriate, assisting GSC’s Community
Development Interns with on-going development projects.
The AIDS and Agriculture Integrated Internship is designed for individuals with
multiple programmatic interests, and allows individual volunteers to
participate in both the HIV/AIDS and Sustainable Agriculture short-term
programs offered in Tanzania. The Internship requires a nine-week minimum
commitment to allow for effective volunteer orientation and training within
each discipline.
Two options are available:
Option 1: Three to six weeks of community training in HIV/AIDS prevention and care, followed by three to six weeks (minimum) of community training in Sustainable Agriculture.
Option 2: Three to six weeks of community training in Sustainable Agriculture, followed by three to six weeks (minimum) of community training in HIV/AIDS prevention and care.
The Community Development Internship (CDI) is designed for individuals who are
specifically interested in International Development and in gaining first-hand
experience working with specific community development projects. After
completing four-weeks of community training in either HIV/AIDS or Sustainable
Agriculture, CDI volunteers devote the remaining five weeks or more of their
internship to exploring the intricacies of international development by
assisting in the development of one of GSC’s sustainable community development
or partnership projects. CDI development projects for HIV/AIDS interns include
assisting GSC in-country staff in program development, supporting GSC’s Peer
Education Health Clubs with HIV/AIDS training and materials, working with the
local organization Women In Action (WIA), and working with local orphanages.
CDI development projects for Sustainable Agriculture interns include improving
and expanding GSC’s agricultural demo plot, working with local farm groups on
their own demo plots, and working with GSC’s Peer Education Health Clubs to
develop school gardens.
