Intern Abroad in Belize
Gain valuable professional experience as you intern at a nonprofits, NGOs or other organizations in Belize. You'll learn more about yourself and what you want to do in the future as you get practical workplace skills.
Internships are specifically designed to provide you with professional experience for career exploration and development. To ensure the best internship experience, internships should last at least one month, and a 2-6 month period is recommended.
While we do not require a specific major, we look for skills, abilities and goals that would be beneficial for a given project. In addition to an application process, expect internship workload and expectations to be more in line with that of a professional placement.
As with all ProWorld experiences, our onsite staff is here to support you every step in your journey with us. Many members of our team are ProWorld alumni, so we are uniquely prepared to guide you in your internship.
