The Volunteer Action team at IDA FOUNDATION believes that the class has a pivotal role to play in shaping their future with global knowledge as an social activist- as people whose voice is heard, as people with access to the media, as people with the capacity to influence policies and build pressure towards positive government action for inclusive and necessary development.
Internships are a part of our Volunteer Action programme. Our interns come from diverse professional, experienced and educational backgrounds, and are seen as integral contributors to the movement to change the environment.
The underlying assumption in all our partnerships with interns is that the experience with IDA FOUNDATION will enable them to continue to participate in the struggle for the rights and need for the environment with various fields. In that sense, the internship is recognized as a beginning of a much longer relationship between IDA FOUNDATION and the intern, as well as the institution they represent.
At IDA FOUNDATION we believe Interns will be the Building Blocks for the Future Development of the Nation.
