Internship Tanzania
 Beautiful Tanzania boasts the highest mountain on the continent of Africa, the exotic spice islands of historical Zanzibar , and the famous Serengeti National Park . In this country, the Great Rift Valley gives rise to unique geological formations, with its endless plains serving as the stage of one of the greatest spectacles of animal behavior - the Great Migration. Tanzania 's internship programs are highly organized and respected, offering benefits beyond just professional development . An internship in Tanzania presents a wonderful opportunity to be immerged within an amazing culture while simultaneously working in your area of interest. The internship experience in Tanzania supplies a number of hands-on experiences while also offering glimpses into the issues affecting developing countries. This international internship is a unique opportunity to truly witness a country's culture, natural beauty and people - all which cannot often be experienced through simple travel.
Orientation, Language and Cultural Immersion
In Tanzania , IFRE offers one week of language and cultural orientation. However, you can choose to take the orientation or go directly into an internship project. If you decide to participate in week-long language and cultural immersion course, your program will begin with one-week of language classes, cultural immersion, and travel experiences in Dar es Salaam . The week-long language and cultural immersion program in Dar features Swahili language lessons, exploration of local villages, and a visit to cities such as Dar es Salaam and Bagomaya - two major Tanzanian tourist cities.
Work in Internship Project (2-12 weeks)
This is the heart of your internship in Tanzania . Presently, IFRE collaborates with various esteemed organizations working in the areas of education, medical/healthcare, HIV/AIDS Project, women's issues and rural development - to offer meaningful internships for eager, industrious individuals. All internship projects and associated organizations are well-established, reputed and have a successful history of hosting a number of international interns. Currently, IFRE offers internships in the following fields:
Internship in Tanzania: Internship Project and Role of Supervisor
 One of the most distinguished features of IFRE's internships in Tanzania is the guidance of supervisors. Whichever projects you choose, IFRE will assign a qualified supervisor to provide assistance for all interns throughout the duration of their chosen internship. Individuals filling the role of supervisor are usually either the director or chosen staff member of the project which interns choose. During your time as an international intern, you will be assigned a number of duties which volunteers also perform (in this sense, there are very few differences between IFRE's volunteers and interns). Wherein exists the differences between interning and volunteering is that the internship allows individuals to become more deeply involved in their chosen project (i.e. individuals interning in the women's issues projects can further explore issues such as the trafficking of women, domestic violence, skills-development, human rights, etc.). Please note: the project supervisor DOES NOT develop internships as this is up to the intern to get as much or as little out of their projects. ALL participants should be proactive to ensure the ultimate success of their internships. Supervisors will provide at least five (5) hours each week to make certain that interns are adequately guided.
INTERNSHIP IN TANZANIA: COLLEGE CREDIT
You can earn academic credit for nearly every type of internship work in Tanzania . The best way to receive academic credit is through your college/university. Therefore, please contact your respective faculty/academic advisor about receiving college credit for your internship work. Your college/university may need additional information about the program prior to approval, as well as require you to submit a research paper or other requirements. Alternatively, you can earn academic credit through Seattle Central Community College (SCCC). SCCC offers college credit for international programs such as: study abroad, volunteer abroad, intern abroad, language studies and even cultural-exchanging home-stays. IFRE suggests contacting Professor Steve Tash (please ask us for pertinent contact information) to further explore the option of receiving course credit for your international internship. IFRE is not associated with SCCC; so please make sure that you can transfer SCCC credit to your home university.
 INTERNSHIP IN TANZANIA: ARRANGEMENT OF ROOM/FOOD
IFRE arranges meals, living accommodations and supervision from the beginning to end of the internship. During the first week (if enrolled in the language and culture program), interns stay in our IFRE's hostel in Dar es Salaam which also doubles as our local offices/base of operations. Located in Dar es Salaam , interns are provided access to various parts of the city. A husband and wife team (our local coordinator who also conducts the culture and language course) runs the hostel - where interns receive three (3) meals a day.
During the internship period, interns stay with a host family. However, an intern joining the orphanage project will stay at the orphanage's compound. We arrange a separate room for interns with shared bathroom facilities in host families as well as in the residential orphanage settings. Details pertaining to living accommodations will be provided in placement details prior to arrival in-country. IFRE's main offices are located in Dar es Salaam - allowing interns access to the local coordinator.
