Internships

Natural Justice has previously hosted 8 interns and is currently hosting another at the Cape Town office. Please see our Interns & Volunteers page for more information about what they have been involved in.

If you are interested in applying for an internship in Cape Town, please send an application by email to laureen(at)naturaljustice.org or by mail. It should include the following:

  • An up-to-date curriculum vitae;
  • A letter of interest describing your areas of study, professional interest, motivation, how an internship would benefit your career, and how you would aim to contribute to Natural Justice;
  • Indication of the proposed dates or timeframe for which you would like to intern; and
  • Contact details

We will then review your application and select the most appropriate candidate(s) on a rolling basis. Please note that no remuneration is available. We are seeking individuals who can commit to at least three months and work both well in a team and independently. In turn, you will have the opportunity to engage in day-to-day activities in an engaging and fast-paced non-profit organization. Internships are offered subject to the availability of space and ongoing activities to individuals either currently studying or recently qualified in the areas of environmental law, policy, environmental science, human rights, and/or community development. Citizens of African countries are particularly encouraged to apply.
