Remote Internship Program

We are in the midst of a global pandemic that is taking lives and straining every aspect of our healthcare system, economy, and personal lives. To provide opportunities to students while social distancing and self-isolation measures are in effect across most of the country, the Small World Initiative® (SWI) is offering remote internships (unpaid). These internships will provide students with a chance to develop their skills and gain real-world experience while tackling pressing global health and education challenges. To read more about the Remote Internship Program, please download this information packet (PDF).

When you are ready to apply, please click here. You will be asked to upload a PDF of your resume and the below questions. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, and internships can start immediately. If you have any questions, please email info [at] smallworldinitiative [dot] org and include “Remote Internship Question” in the subject line.

  • Why would you like to do an internship with the Small World Initiative?

  • What type of internship are you looking for (e.g., start/end dates, hours per week, any particular focus)?

  • What are three facts you find interesting about COVID-19 or antibiotic resistance?

  • Optional: Please share any unique skills you are interested in employing during an internship (for example – journalistic/blog writing, social media, artistic, foreign language, programming, photography/videography, gaming, app developing).

Volunteer

Use and develop your professional skills while furthering the Small World Initiative and creating positive social impact. Please Contact Us with your name, contact information, skill set, how much time you would like to volunteer, and when you can start. Including your resume is helpful in matching you with appropriate volunteer opportunities. If no suitable opportunities exist when you apply, we welcome your suggestions for projects that would further SWI's mission. If you would like to be considered for an internship or fellowship, please include your resume and cover letter (explaining your relevant experience and interest in SWI as well as what you hope to gain from the internship). At this time, internships may take place in New York City. Under certain circumstances, interns may work remotely.
