Become a Virtual Summer Intern
As a Summer Intern with Manna Project, you will embark on a 5-to-10 week adventure working with a community in Ecuador.
You will use your energy, passions, and intelligence to contribute to development programs in your area of interest. This experience will improve your language skills, change the way you see the world, and leave you wanting more!
The COVID-19 pandemic is having a profound impact on countries, organizations, and individuals around the world. These are especially unprecedented times for international NGOs and community development organizations who find their operations temporarily suspended. MPI is committed to advancing our mission of serving our community members in Ecuador and developing social change leaders this summer. To fulfill these goals, we have created a Virtual Summer Internship. Through this virtual internship, we will offer our interns professional and personal development through meaningful work alongside our staff, volunteers, and community members. Each intern will be assigned to a “track” - Communication & Development, Program Design & Evaluation, or Community Development & Outreach - based on their skills and preferences. Interns will work approximately 25 hours/week divided among work within their “tracks,” virtual community development programs, professional development seminars, private Spanish classes, virtual language exchanges, and face-to-face interactions with community members. Through this experience, MPI aims to provide interns with an in-depth overview of all that goes into running a community development organization!
We are currently only accepting applications for our virtual internship, but we plan to be able to host interns on site in Ecuador for Summer 2022. Click HERE to learn more about our on-site internship opportunity.
Application deadline: we will start accepting summer 2022 applications in september 2021
