Introduction

We offer you the opportunity to work in an international setting to assist community development activities in Southern Africa. You can choose between the city of Cape Town or the Kingdom of Swaziland to work with our team to create photos and short videos to help us promote the activities of our community development initiatives.

Whether you are looking for experience to further your career or looking to make a difference in a much needed part of the world, this internship is designed to be beneficial for all involved. Therefore if you have any special interests, skills or goals, let us know and we will do whatever we can to integrate them into the programme.

As an intern, your role with us is to bring knowledge and expertise to the project, whilst taking away hands-on experience and adding to your achievements. You will be working on a strategic level to develop local capacity so that the project can continue long after you have left. You will be expected to take on responsibility and to create goals that you will be involved in or lead. You will also have a mentor assigned to you to guide you throughout the internship.

Upon arrival, our team will assist you with getting started, meeting project partners, and advising you on next steps. You will then have the flexibility to create your own schedule with partners, and together create a plan of action of goals to achieve whilst working together. For this reason, it is important that the word partner remain key throughout the experience. Our interns have a world of expertise to offer, however all goals should be created together with the in-country partner so the outcomes are sustainable even after the intern returns home. We do not expect our interns to take on a job position, but rather take on the role of advisor ; offering advice, suggestions and assistance in creating strategies that will make long term impacts.

Role

The role will involve reporting to the Marketing coordinator to assist with photo and video stock for marketing and/or fundraising needs. Your videos and photos will be used on our website, social media pages and on our other marketing materials . Some of the activities you may get involved in may include:

  • Photographing projects +amp; interns in action
  • Creating video trailers of our projects for our website
  • Creating video or photo blogs of your experience
  • Interviewing staff or interns about their experiences
