Greetings from Attleboro, MA! I am an alumna of Smith College, and currently the Programs Coordinator at an NGO based in Attleboro called Global Health through Education, Training and Service (GHETS). I write to share an exciting internship opportunity with your program, students, and faculty. GHETS is dedicated to improving health outcomes in developing countries through innovations in education and service. We provide microgrants to training institutions in developing countries, as well as the technical support needed to launch and improve programs that prepare and support healthcare workers in rural communities. Our main grant areas include maternal and child health, health workforce development, and occupational and community health. A map of our active and past programs can be found on our website: http://www.ghets.org/content/programs/.
We are currently recruiting summer interns. Interns will assist with program coordination, research, and administration in the GHETS office, which is easily accessible by MBTA commuter rail from Boston or Providence. While individual projects vary depending on the needs of our program partners, past interns have had the ability to specialize in a research project, engaged in social media outreach (newsletters publication, maintaining twitter/facebook campaigns, etc.), development (grant writing, even planning) or program planning (evaluation, new program partner research and outreach). We are especially interested in interns who could continue working into the month of September to join us at our annual Network Conference, this year in Graz, Austria. Past interns have had the opportunity to travel with us to conferences all over the world, and have benefited significantly from the experience.
