Summer Internships

Overview

The Nanubhai Summer Internship is a 10 week long opportunity for passionate, motivated individuals interested in improving rural education and providing access to new opportunities for rural students. Interns teach English and Technology classes while conducting research on a topic of their choice.

We are currently accepting applications for the 2012  summer internship.

The final deadline is January 8th 2012. See below for details and the application. 

 Interns are placed individually in our partner schools to:

• Teach Spoken English and Technology classes to rural Indian students.
• Conduct original research within the schools and communities that we serve to develop and supplement new programming. Past projects include developing a mentoring program between high school and primary school students, creating and piloting an integrated Spoken-English and Technology curriculum and building up a 200+ book lending library at a partner school.

Interns live within the rural villages they serve, allowing them to get to know their students, their students’ families and to be completely integrated with the community.
