Help launch a powerful, developing country, field internship program to prepare a new generation of global nonprofit/NGO leaders ready to help address the world's most pressing humanitarian, human rights, health and development challenges. The program features experiences in field settings with multiple organizations - each a winner of the Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize.
Internships have become a standard feature of graduate degree programs preparing future practitioners and leaders in global public health, and related fields. Many schools have well-developed internship programs - often through partnerships with NGOs and other organizations - but fewer are able to place their students directly in high impact roles in the field. Finding opportunities for this type of field-level experience is a major challenge in helping young leaders establish their careers.
The Collaborative is building a program offering unparalleled opportunities to students and young professionals characterized by: Field experience; Direct, in-depth experience with two or more Laureate programs in-country; Additional exposure to Laureate programs that may be operating in the given country context; Opportunity to directly and regularly collaborate with Laureate country leadership, including Laureate CEOs/EDs.
This program's focus on students from diverse backgrounds - economic, geographic, and academic - will help build a new generation of senior NGO/nonprofit leaders reflective of the constituents they serve and well-grounded to serve them.
