Would you like to stand up for inter­gen­er­a­tional jus­tice and become famil­iar with work­ing in a small NGO? Are you will­ing to help prizes endowed with €10,000, or to sup­port an art project on the top­ic of inter­gen­er­a­tional jus­tice? These are only two of many more excit­ing ventures.

The Foun­da­tion for the Rights of Future Gen­er­a­tions (FRFG) is look­ing for interns to sup­port our young team.

As well as:
  • Insight into the work of a small NGO

The FRFG usu­al­ly does not employ interns who have already fin­ished their stud­ies. Excep­tions apply, but we can­not promise a per­ma­nent posi­tion fol­low­ing a suc­cess­ful internship. 

 

Start/Term of Internship:

Appli­ca­tions are wel­come for any time peri­od but we rec­om­mend apply­ing at least four months before you would like to start. Intern­ships last six to twelve weeks (thir­ty-five hours a week).

Part-time intern­ships (3–4 days per week) with indi­vid­ual arrange­ments regard­ing work­ing hours and loca­tion are pos­si­ble. Please men­tion this in your application.

 

Payment:

As a non-prof­it NGO, where most peo­ple work com­plete­ly unpaid (e.g. board mem­bers, advi­sors), we are not able to pay any kind of salary. We do, how­ev­er, pro­vide a fur­nished apart­ment for the dura­tion of your intern­ship free of charge.

Please send us your detailed appli­ca­tion (cov­er let­ter, CV, cer­tifi­cates) by email.
