Internship/Volunteering (Remote)

Anglophones who don’t understand French at all cannot work with us and vice versa. Whatever your area of expertise, if you are aiming for a career in Education, Health, Entrepreneurship, or ICT in Africa, an internship/volunteering opportunity at ARM is the ideal starting point for you.

The ARM internship programme offers practical work in one of ARM's priority areas. In addition to helping you understand the mandate, programmes, and key areas of the Organisation, it also enhances your theoretical knowledge with relevant work assignments that can help prepare you for your future career. You will be called upon to express your talent in one of ARM's sectors and its various activities. You may also be employed full-time as part of our internal project fulfilment.

The duration of an internship/volunteering is generally between 2 and 6 months, renewable. Internships/volunteering at ARM are unpaid. However, there are compensations, financial or otherwise, for internship missions. Even if you are eligible, there is no guarantee of placement. We receive many more applications from qualified candidates than we can place. Your application will be accessible to all ARM managers worldwide and will be kept in our database. We do not respond to every candidate. If you do not receive a response after a month, it means your application has not been successful. However, you can discuss with us here.
