Internship: Open Society Initiative for Europe (OSIFE)
These internships by Open Society Foundations aim to increase the internal diversity of the anti-discrimination field while giving the opportunity to young graduates with a minority background to overcome the material, financial and physical obstacles that prevent them from developing their potential and gaining experience in line with their qualifications.
In return, the organizations will benefit from the young graduate’s skills, personal experiences and knowledge of the minority community of origin.
Budget & Duration
Internships’ duration can vary between 3 and 6 months. The foundation will also consider proposals offering two intern positions of 3 months each. All positions offered must be full-time. The minimum amount for a six-month internship is 10,000 USD and the maximum is 20,000 USD
Exchanges: Open Society Initiative for Europe (OSIFE)
Within this scheme, OSIFE foresees three main forms of exchanges that can be bilateral or unidirectional. In the case of a bilateral exchange, staff of each of the two partner organizations spends a period of work (between one week and three months) within the other partner organization.
