More than a line on your resume
Real responsibility. Past interns have written grant sections, built donor communications, and helped launch community programs, not just filed paperwork.
Hands-on mentorship. Every track has an experienced lead who meets with you regularly and helps you grow.
A certificate and letter of recommendation. Complete your internship and request both on your way out.
Verified service hours. We document and can verify your hours for scholarships, honor societies, or graduation requirements.
A note on academic credit: this is an unpaid internship. Whether it qualifies for academic credit depends entirely on your school and department, not on HOPE Life Global. If you're hoping to earn credit, please confirm the requirements with your academic advisor before you apply, and let us know so we can help document your hours accordingly.
A note on safeguarding
HOPE Life Global partners with organizations that assist minors and other vulnerable populations, including our Hope Shield DR and Dominican Republic community tracks. Any role with potential contact with minors or vulnerable populations requires a background check and safeguarding training before placement begins, and direct care in those settings always stays with trained, vetted staff.
