Background
Hong Kong is a vibrant and diverse place, but it is also the most unequal city in the developed world; many groups persist in a vicious cycle of disempowerment. We envision an inclusive Hong Kong where every voice has a say in its future and every person has the power to bring positive change to their community. We provide fellowships to emerging leaders from marginalized and underrepresented communities to empower them to be change-makers and social catalysts.
What we have
nterns will gain first-hand knowledge of the challenges and opportunities of working in the charity sector. They will gain experience in the ins and outs of nonprofit management. Being a small organization, interns will have the opportunity to make meaningful contributions that allow them to showcase their skills and leave the internship with tangible achievements. Interns will strengthen their knowledge of human rights, diversity and inclusion and social justice issues in Hong Kong. Interns will also receive guided professional development. The internship provides a daily meal stipend of 60 HKD as well as reimbursement for travel.
Why this is important
By joining the team, you will be providing us with invaluable support to deliver our groundbreaking programs and contributing to making Hong Kong a more inclusive place.
