| An internship with us is a great chance to expand your skills, apply your education, and work directly in the field of African politics and human rights. Yet, it is an even greater opportunity to learn from from the vast experiences of our Cameroonian staff members and the constituents/beneficiaries of the organization. | ||||||||||

Interns are expected to engage in all aspects of the organization including development, administrative duties, fundraising, event planning, and innovative growth.

| HisR International Internship Fee: As a local organization, Human IS Right charges a nominal fee for international internships for better facilitation, coordination, supervision, and effectiveness. Internship prices vary depending on the length of the internship and additional services requested. The internship fees listed below includes the cost of housing and work-based transportation. Interns shall be responsible for their insurance and visa applications. Human IS Right will assist with a confirmation or visa letter to facilitate the application process. The first month internship fee will need to be paid upon arrival due to the necessary immediate logistical arrangements, accomodation, and transportation of the intern from the Douala International airport to Buea. We encourage internships that last three months or longer so that interns have enough time to adjust to Buea and to understand the work and context of HisR and the Prisoners’ Rights Project, since the Project requires consistency and continuous work. |
