We believe in supporting the future of humanitarian aid – those emerging practitioners who will be around long after we are gone.
Over the last 10 years, we’ve had 43 interns from more than 10 institutions complete a placement with us. We value bringing new and diverse voices to our organisation to encourage fresh thinking. We’ve had interns from all sorts of different backgrounds and contexts including from Sweden, Canada, Kenya, the Philippines, Egypt, Colombia, Indonesia, Poland, China, USA and Japan. We work with Interns to help them navigate where their passion lies in humanitarian response and mapping out how to get there.
Our internship program provides opportunities for students engaged in advanced university study to develop their skills in research, training and technical support. Our interns work on research assistance, write blogs, support HAG and sector events and learn valuable research skills. The areas of focus cover protection in humanitarian crises, diverse leadership in the sector and localisation, just to name a few. We offer experience supporting active projects across the region, training opportunities, career planning and opportunities for networking (plus much more!).

She has developed a great passion for the field of global migration, climate change, and displacement during her postgraduate studies, which is why she has chosen to focus on the Greening the System stream of HAG’s Humanitarian Horizons research program. Vinthara has previously volunteered for the Secretariat of the Antarctic Treaty and the Asian Studies Association of Australia (ASAA), which provided her the opportunity to implement her theoretical knowledge into practice, something she hopes to continue doing throughout her internship at Humanitarian Advisory Group.
