Take Action

OVERSEAS INTERNS/VOLUNTEERS          

Occasionally, CPAR may offer internship or volunteer opportunities in one of our program countries.  These opportunities are generally arranged in cooperation with a university or college or in collaboration with a funder or another organization.  Interns and volunteers are expected to commit to (at minimum) six months for their overseas placement.

Interns may receive a small amount of compensation (i.e., a stipend) depending on the project they are working on and the funding.   Volunteers who travel overseas are generally expected to self-fund their trip – including airfare, in-country accommodation and meals, health insurance, inoculations, visa, etc. 

CPAR does not normally have internships/overseas volunteer positions available for general applications.  However, available positions would be listed below. 

There are no internships or volunteer positions currently available.
