AASHA Internship Program

AASHA (Aao Hum Seekhe Aur Sikhayen)

AASHA has run an internship program right from its inception. We welcome and encourage students to spend time teaching and working at AASHA. We believe young people can learn a great deal from the work we do and they add energy and fresh perspective to our organization. Internships provide students the opportunity to improve their communication, teamwork and time management skills.

AAHSA is an avenue for talented, socially conscious students to join us in our mission to help serve disadvantaged communities. There are opportunities galore to learn and enhance your own skills while contributing to our cause – be it improving your language, working on interpersonal, communication & presentation skills, creating and managing processes, applying technical knowledge to make systems and learning smoother etc.

Internship Details

AASHA internships typically involve 100 hours of volunteer work. Teaching can make up part or all of these hours depending on the student’s interest. Guidance for teaching will be provided by AASHA and a mentor will be assigned to interns for other activities. Interns are required to submit a report and contribute to the AASHA blog at the end of their internship.

Students who successfully complete their internship are awarded a certificate. Details of criteria for internship completion will be provided to interns once they join. In case of exceptional work, letters of appreciation/ recommendation may also be issued. Interns are not provided any monetary remuneration.

Given the pandemic, work assigned to interns is remote and can be completed at home using a phone, computer and internet connection.
