Our NGO Internship Opportunities
Sri Lanka NGO Internships

Local NGOs deliver a wide range of programmes, such as agricultural development, training people to work overseas, supporting Women and male sex workers with HIV, and the LGB community.
Your training programme will give you insight into how NGOs operate in Sri Lanka, and the importance of their work here.
There will be opportunity to join secretariat officers in the communities to witness firsthand the excellent work they do in promoting programs, and in supporting and facilitating the work of NGOs.
The part of the program with government is conducted in English, as is some work with some NGOs. Where you need an interpreter, this will be at an additional cost, which is detailed on the pricing page.
