Summer 2012 International Internship Programme

Summary

Founded in 1982, SFCG works to transform the way the world deals with conflict – away from adversarial approaches and towards collaborative problem solving. We work with local partners to find culturally appropriate means to strengthen societies’ capacity to deal with conflicts constructively: to understand the differences and act on the commonalities. Using innovative tools and working at different levels of society, we engage in a pragmatic long-term process of conflict transformation. Our toolbox includes media production – radio, TV, film and print – mediation and facilitation, training, community organizing, sports, drama and music. We promote both individual and institutional change and are committed to measuring the results of our work. We strive to constantly increase our effectiveness through monitoring and facilitated learning.

Search for Common Ground’s (SFCG) International Internship Program is a summer internship program designed to encourage young people interested in pursuing a field in conflict transformation to gain invaluable field experience. The program is open to students and recent graduates in the USA and internationally, who are self-funded and available to work between 2 and 3 months from end of May 2012.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where will internships be available? May I apply to work in a specific country? In 2012, SFCG expects to offer international Internships in 16 of its country program offices. The complete list of internships will not be finalized until after the application deadline but will likely include the following countries: Angola, Burundi, Cote d’Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, East Timor, Guinea, Indonesia, Israel/Palestine (based in Jerusalem), Kosovo, Liberia, Madagascar, Nepal, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe. Depending on security context, there may be internship possibilities in Niger, Nigeria, and Pakistan as well. *Please note that these posts are tentative and could change depending on the security context which will be re assessed in May 2012. Please indicate country preferences on your application form but we cannot guarantee your first choice. Much will depend on your language ability and skill set. If you are applying for a non-African Country, you must make this clear on the application subject line.

When do internships take place? Internships are generally 3 months long, but may vary. Depending on the countries where they are placed, Interns will begin work between May & June 2012 and will complete their internships between August & September 2012. Yearlong internships are available.

Does SFCG fund interns? SFCG does not provide funding for International Internships. You may wish to explore what funding your academic institutions or national government might offer before applying. While Interns are expected to cover the cost of travel to the program and their daily expenses in the country, SFCG will provide travel insurance with a possibility of paying interns a per diem rate at the same level of local staff for work conducted away from their internship base. For most country programmes, SFCG will also provide accommodation where available. The approximate cost of living differs between locations. This information will be covered in detail during an orientation before departure to the field. Intern candidates are encouraged to apply for funding through their Universities as well as government and private academic funding/ scholarship programs.
