Term of Internship
Applications are welcome for any time period but we recommend applying at least four months before you would like to start. Internships last six to twelve weeks (thirty-five hours a week).
Part-time internships (3–4 days per week) with individual arrangements regarding working hours and location are possible. Please mention this in your application.
In-person, hybrid or remote internships are possible. If you chose a hybrid or remote internship we require you to be in the office during the first week of your internship for the onboarding process and to meet the rest of the team.
Payment
As a non-profit NGO, where most people work completely unpaid (e.g. board members, advisors), we are not able to pay any kind of salary.
If you chose to do a hybrid or remote internship, we offer you a sum of €300 to cover the cost of your stay and travel during the onboarding phase in the first week of your internship.
If you chose to do an in-person internship, then we offer you a sum of €300 as compensation.
Application
Please send us your detailed application (cover letter, CV, certificates) by email.
The FRFG usually does not employ interns who have already finished their studies. Exceptions apply, but we cannot promise a permanent position following a successful internship.
