Humanitarian Internships are a non-paid opportunity and experience to further the objectives of our organization. ECH Interns provide important stepping-stones toward self-sufficiency for the children under our care. This includes programs in Peru, Colombia, and Ecuador. In return, our Interns receive professional work experience and other requisites to help them progress in their future career goals.

The heart of an internship is focused on creating options and opportunities for our at-risk children and families in the communities and countries where we serve. ECH believes in empowering children through nutrition, health, education, and skill development to produce long-term poverty alleviation. It is imperative interns understand this objective and strive to exemplify these values in the work they will do.
