What recent interns said about their experience
I loved my internship and the on the ground coordinators. I think the number one thing I walked away from this experience with was the people I met and the connections I made. The community I built in Zanzibar are truly good friends and also connections that will help me as I navigate my professional future.
My experience with Intern Abroad HQ was excellent. They made sure I had everything I needed before my internship, and their communication throughout the process was outstanding. From the application stage to returning home after the program, everything was well organized and smooth. The support they provided made the entire experience stress-free and allowed me to focus on getting the most out of my internship.
Eye opening experience that has changed me for the better.
I joined the Social Work & Education internship in Zanzibar, Tanzania, through the Intern Abroad HQ x Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University Study Abroad Youth Education & NGO Support Program. This summer has been saturated with personal and professional growth. I am forever grateful for the lessons learned and the communities(local and global) that have shaped me along the way.
