Marketing & Communication Internship in Argentina

Spend a semester abroad supporting local organizations through a Marketing & Communication internship with Foundation for Sustainable Development (FSD). This is a unique opportunity to be a part of an inspirational change in underserved communities, and work with one of FSD’s community-based partner organizations in Salta, Argentina.

Interns have the opportunity to grow personally and professionally in this culturally immersive and educationally enriching program while developing skills essential to a career in communications. Marketing & Communication Interns work with their host organization to develop a project aimed at supporting the organization's mission. Marketing and Communication interns will use their creativity and marketing-savvy skills to convey the vision and mission of the organization to a broader audience, often through website development, social media, print materials, campaigns and more.

Interns should be flexible and self-motivated in order to recognize the organization's needs and collaborate on innovative solutions. FSD interns bring a powerful source of support and diverse perspectives for FSD community organizations and the people they serve.

Internship Highlights

Interns will work directly with grassroots organizations and have the opportunity to develop marketing & communication strategy in Salta, Argentina.
You will have the opportunity to develop a truly sustainable project during your time in-country. Our site teams will help support your project development and give guidance as needed. 
All interns have the opportunity to write a grant proposal through the FSD Grant Writing Competition (optional). For interns interested in a career in nonprofits, proposal writing is extremely helpful
Our in-country site teams provide in-depth training on development topics and 24-hour support for anything you may need during your stay abroad.
Interns live with host families to foster community integration and cultural understanding.

When interns arrive in the field, FSD in-country teams will lead an orientation, providing each intern with invaluable guidance and insight that will help them throughout their program. Orientation is a blend of theoretical topics such as FSD’s asset-based community development model and community-based research and day-to-day details such as how to navigate the local transit system, safety, and security. Through the orientation process, interns are introduced to the people who will be their support network while they are in-country: FSD staff, their project supervisors, host organizations, host families, and other interns serving in the area.

FSD internships are designed and structured for university students and recent graduates. A strong emphasis is placed on experiential learning, meaning that interns are learning through the implementation of key phases of work in their internship. FSD site teams conduct training and reflection sessions to assist interns during their cultural integration and during their project planning and development work. We strive to ensure relationships of reciprocal benefit, meaning that both the community and intern benefits from the experience.
