An Isla Intern's Experience in Kasese, Uganda

Isla builds upon the organizational capacity-building work of our partner organizations in Uganda, Kosovo, and Bulgaria by placing university undergraduate and graduate students, and working professionals in career-launching global development internships with local non-governmental organizations, social enterprises, and other institutions. Isla's philosophy derives from the knowledge that local people, organizations and communities are best equipped to guide development in their communities. How does it work? Isla works with local partners to identify organizational needs. Based on these needs, Isla places skilled international interns to execute the scope of work developed by the host organization, thus improving the partner's capacity to serve their beneficiaries and communities, and advance strategic objectives and priorities. Isla's partners work in the following interrelated global development focus areas: Education and Youth Development Global Health and Well Being Social Enterprise Development Social Justice Gender Equality HIV-AIDS Advocacy Environment Isla interns improve their skills while helping their host organization improve operations and outcomes. Placing talented people inside idealistic, humanitarian organizations, Isla creates opportunities for greater global understanding, cooperation, and community service.
