Hyphen the World: Virtual Internships with Community Organizations in India

Hyphen the World is a journey of professional development and self-discovery coordinated by the Delhi-based non-profit, Pravah, which designs and facilitates inside-out leadership journeys for young people to build their agency and enable them to become self-aware, deeply empathetic and socially responsible leaders. Pravah has a rich history of working with international volunteers both in person and virtually.

For the fourth year, we are offering the unique opportunity to learn about youth-centered community work in India while gaining professional, cross-cultural experience and advancing a social issue that you’re interested in. Hyphen the World includes project work with a community organization from Pravah’s network, reflection/ mentorship meetings 1:1 and with a UW cohort, and completion of independent assignments. Choose from a 4.5- or 9-week experience, earning either 2 or 5 UW credits. The commitment is part-time, about 10-12 hours per week dedicated to the project and 2-3 hours per week of mentorship/ reflection activities for processing and deepening learning. Project topics include: sexual and reproductive health and rights; access to education for marginalized populations; mental health; environmental sustainability, and more!
