CYSD’s Internship Program is a unique program where students (18+) and young professionals from different background, locally or internationally join CYSD for a month or more to exchange their skills and experiences and get a hands-on opportunity to acquire direct exposure to CYSD’s work. During the process, a mentor who will be guiding them in with practical experience in various thematic fields guides the interns. Every attempt is made to match the interests of the intern with the needs of the organization. Internship assignments vary in length according to the availability and academic requirements of the intern, as well as the needs of CYSD. Internships are unpaid. However, out of pocket allowances and accommodation can be provided to exceptional candidates.

My internship at CYSD not only helped me learn and explore professionally but also made me grow as an individual. The working atmosphere at CYSD is so warm, welcoming and wholesome that I thoroughly enjoyed working and learning about the Social Development Sector with immense passion and interest. It was an experience of a lifetime and I will always cherish the memories that I made at CYSD during my five months of internship in 2020.

Working amongst children has been something I have always looked forward to. Even through virtually, the exposure that I received was incredible as I came across life-changing stories of innocent souls, which inspired me to strive further in the sector.
