Volunteer Internship Opportunities


Our Sponsored Internship Partners

You need to apply directly to one of our Sponsored Internship Partners at the same time that you apply to Birthright Armenia.  They arrange the internships, we do the rest.  The Armenian Volunteer Corps (AVC), is our closest partner and in-house affiliate.  You will also find a series of diasporan organizations, and a series of Armenia-based organizations. You will need to chose from one of our partners in order to apply to and become a Birthright Armenia sponsored participant. The choices are many and very exciting. Which one you chose is completely up to you. Just keep in mind that if the internship you chose is less than 9 weeks, you will have to complete the minimum requirement of 9 weeks for 50% travel fellowship and 14 weeks for full travel reimbursement. You can achieve this by doing an add-on internship that we would arrange for you. Read on for more information.
