GMAD Internships

Social Work

Education

Administrative NGO

Ghana Make a Difference (GMAD) is happy to offer three different internships; Education, Social Work and an Administrative NGO Internship. Click on the links above for more information on each of the internships.  There is a 30 day minimum stay at the GMAD home to be considered for an internship. 

If the three internships don't interest you and you have something else in mind, feel free to contact Austin Johnson at [email protected].  Austin will also be your point of contact when/if your educational institution requires your internship host to fill out specific paperwork or if you have any questions regarding internships at GMAD. 

Thank you for considering Ghana Make a Difference for your internship. We are confident you will gain experience, add to your resume and that you will make a difference!
