Volunteer Internship Opportunities

In this section you will find a list of the many organizations that are ready to organize your internship. Namely, the Armenian Volunteer Corps (AVC), a series of diasporan organizations, and a series of Armenia-based organizations. We call them our Sponsored Internship Programs. Remember, the internships are organized by any of these partner organizations. Birthright Armenia complements the internship with an array of other services and benefits. You will need to select from one of our partners in order to apply to and become a Birthright Armenia sponsored participant. The choices are many and very exciting. Which one you select is completely up to you. Just keep in mind that if the internship you select is less than 8 weeks, you will have to complete the minimum requirement of 8 weeks by doing an add-on internship that we would arrange for you. Read on for more information.
