About RIDE INDIA: RIDE was founded in 1984. It is a secular, non-government organisation, registered with the government and recognized by Government agencies, dedicated to empower poor and disadvantaged residents of rural Tamil Nadu to improve the quality of lives. RIDE works to eliminate child labor, promote economic and social justice for women, provide essential medical and educational services, and cultivate economic opportunity throughout the Kanchipuram region.
Purpose of Internship: The purpose of our Young Indian Internship Scheme is to give Indian students an opportunity to be exposed to the running of a grass roots NGO (non-government organisation) while providing them with the opportunity to contribute to a project and gain insight into rural communities in India. It aims to inspire, motivate, and educate students so that they take something away from the experience and pursue their future goals with an open mind.
About the Internship: Indian students are welcome to apply from a variety of backgrounds to assist in many areas of RIDE’s work. On completion of the program student will be provided with a letter of recognition for their work.This is an unpaid program and students. However, RIDE will provide transport during the program as well as lunch.
