Shane, Partnership Intern
"The partnership internship introduced me to many different non-profit organizations and the work they do while developing my communication skills and technical experience."



Ida, Editorial Intern
"The most exciting aspect of my Editorial Internship was the world of endless opportunities that opened up before me. I acquired fundamental editorial skills and published dozens of articles online. I met one-on-one with Zimbabwean delegates specializing in women's rights. I attended life-changing events featuring environmental experts. Most importantly, I learned that development is not about politics, it's about people."

Kira, Partnership Intern
"OneWorld gave me a great opportunity to enter the nonprofit community and opened doors for my future in the expansion of knowledge and experiences."





Ian, Partnership Intern
"An internship with OneWorld provided me both with the tools and contacts that I needed to get ahead in the non-profit world. The ability to see meaningful exchanges taking place both at the peer learning sessions, and the networking happy hours, has reinstilled my faith that non-profits are reliant on a community to survive. Participating in the events calendar and blog allowed me to realize how my work could impact and educate individuals in other member groups."

Megan, Partnership Intern
"OneWorld was my first introduction into the nonprofit world. They treated me like an integral part of their team and gave me valuable tasks to add to their overall mission. I would definitely recommend this internship to anyone who wants to work in a friendly environment, learn about many different nonprofits, and learn more about our global community."
