Work with HELP

"HELP International has the perfect amount of structure to give you lots of support if you need it, and yet enough autonomy to feel empowered in making your own decisions and creating your own experience. I loved HELP International because through them I discovered what I could do as an individual to make a difference in the world, and then they helped me do it. Because of the training and leadership we had, we were prepared to be culturally sensitive and good examples of Americans, and the people of Mukono thought very highly of us. HELP isn't a huge organization and it doesn't have a ton of resources, but I was impressed at how well they organized this experience and it inspired me to return next summer."

Work with HELP

US-based

Office Staff: At this time, there are no paid office staff positions available.

Internships/ Office Volunteers: HELP International accepts US-based interns and volunteers and is willing to work with your institution to set up a program. Every semester HELP offers internships opportunities in the areas of human resources, public relations, recruiting, training, grant writing, and finance. HELP looks for motivated individuals that can work on their own as well as with others. Individuals applying to be interns should be willing to learn to new skills and take initiative. While these internships are unpaid, our interns are rewarded by practical work experience, the opportunity to interact closely with the staff, and the chance to further our social mission.
