Purpose of Internships

We encourage applicants from skilled and motivated young people to serve as interns at Greenway International Foundation. The purpose of the internship is to provide an opportunity for individuals to substantively contribute to and learn from our work. The intern will be given specific tasks and responsibilities and will be challenged to develop their capabilities and gain experience. The intern is expected to be flexible and to take part in various activities at the office and sometimes in the field.

Internship period work will focus on four main areas. These are: Climate Education, Tree Planting Project, Monitoring and Learning. Intern applicants should specify which area/s interests them most in the application. The Greenway International Foundation Office is housed in East Legon, Accra.
