GLOBAL STUDIES INTERNSHIP (GSI)
We equip future leaders with the skills, knowledge, and tools to implement effective and sustainable solutions to community strengthening, modern slavery, and child protection.
EMBARK on a life-changing journey to transform communities around the world.
What is a Global Studies Internship?
SJRC's Global Studies Internship is a unique programme that combines targeted studies and hands-on experience. Our goal is to equip future leaders with the skills, knowledge, and tools to implement effective and sustainable solutions to community strengthening, modern slavery, and child protection. SJRC is a faith-based research centre located in the middle of Scotland!
The GSI programme begins with a 6-month internship at our training centre in Scotland and an optional additional six months at one of Global Family's international programme locations. This unique hybrid programme combines classes and practical hands-on experience emphasising social justice, identification and intervention of human trafficking, and strengthening of local communities.
Applications are received on a rolling basis.
Part 1: Scotland
In the first six months of the GSI programme, interns will work at our training centre in Falkirk, Scotland in one or more areas of nonprofit management, administration, fundraising, social media and marketing, programme and curriculum development, coding, research, and programme evaluation. Interns will also take one available SJRC course as part of the GSI programme.
St. James Research Centre is located in Falkirk, Scotland. The centre is located a short walking distance away from shopping, groceries, gyms, a movie theatre, and a train station with easy access to Edinburgh and Glasgow.
Falkirk
Falkirk and the surrounding area is bursting with brilliant contrasts. The area boasts some outstanding attractions, including The Kelpies, The Helix, The Falkirk Wheel, Bo’ness and Kinneil Railway, the Antonine Wall, and The John Muir Way.
Falkirk is centrally located and less than a 30 minute train ride to Edinburgh, Glasgow and Stirling. Falkirk itself is full of character, local restaurants, well known attractions and tourist sites in Scotland.
Part 2: Global Family International
After your internship in Scotland, you may choose to work in one of Global Family's international programme locations. You will work in one of Global Family's model countries with a team of local professionals, researchers, and practitioners. We will work with you to identify your skills and goals, and to place you in a location that matches your previous and desired experience.
