Do you want to spend your time doing something worthwhile? Have you always wanted to be the beacon of change and make a difference in the world? Are you unsure where to start? The experience you seek may come from your internship at The Akshaya Patra Foundation – an NGO that serves hot and nutritious mid-day meals to children studying in government schools.
Most of our interns commit to a one-month to three-month internship period. We, at Akshaya Patra, will be glad to have you on board if you want to stay longer.
Our internship programme provides an opportunity to gain an insight into the development sector through hands-on grassroots work and to make a real contribution. Interns get an opportunity to work in every area of our programmes and can spend a substantial amount of time in the field.
Offering top-notch internships, we give NGO interns the chance to:
• Gain knowledge from professionals in the field
• Work in an environment that enables them to hone both new and current abilities
• Assimilate knowledge gained from their academic pursuits
• Participate in the growth of one of the best NGOs while working in a diversified setting
We offer internship opportunities all year round, although summer and winter internships are prioritised according to the needs of students and volunteers and the academic institution’s calendar.
We have a programme of onboarding 4-6 interns throughout specific times depending on the requirement and resources available.
The interns in our NGO are required to commit to a minimum of four weeks to ensure continuity and measurable results. To officially start the internship period, the interns are first introduced to our services and programmes and then their skill set is matched with the organisation’s current needs. This carefully thought-out approach transforms internships from a random collection of activities into a fruitful endeavour for both the organisation and the interns.
What interns say
“Interning at The Akshaya Patra Foundation has been a great experience. I could be a part of the NGO’s mission. As an intern, I got a chance to work on various projects such as scholarship, operations, communications and impact assessment. The experience gave me valuable insights into non-profit management, social impact strategies and the challenges and rewards of working in the social sector. I am very grateful to Akshaya Patra for allowing me to work with industry experts and hone my professional skills.”
