Foundation for Sustainable Development—International Internship Program
View Web site
The Foundation for Sustainable Development (FDS) is an 11-year-old nonprofit organization based in San Francisco that provides hands-on, service-learning internships for those looking to gain development experience and make genuine impact on an international community. Its programs are located in eight countries throughout Latin America, East Africa, and India (Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Peru, Kenya, Uganda, India), and address development subjects such as micro-enterprise/microfinance, health, environment, youth and education, women's empowerment, community development, and human rights.

Students who participate in the International Internship Program have the opportunity to work with one of the 160 nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) partnered with FDS, learning and applying sustainable development solutions on the field. Project work and research are collaboratively designed and implemented by the participant, the FDS team, and the organization to reflect community needs. Seed funding is given to each student to initiate their work and additional funds are available through a grant competition, which trains and encourage students to write effective grants proposals after developing a work plan in-country. Internships run year round for 9 to 52 weeks, allowing students to take a quarter or semester abroad, or do an internship during the summer months.

Students' skills and interests are thoroughly evaluated and matched with the organization that provides the best opportunity for them to make a lasting community impact. The structured program consists of several components that provide students with the support and guidance needed to implement successful projects in a sustainable manner. Participants acquire development skills and training, while immersing themselves in foreign language and culture.

This summer, over 100 projects were conducted by graduate and undergraduate students from nationwide universities in collaboration with their host organization.
