A Guide to Social Work Internships Abroad
Prepare for an Internship
Understand the benefits
A social work internship abroad is more than just a travel experience—it’s a life-changing opportunity to develop your skills and contribute to global change.
- Gain professional experience and development. Work alongside seasoned professionals to build new skills and grow through real-world experience in community-focused environments.
- Make international connections. Develop a global network of mentors and peers who share your passion for social impact and social justice.
- Grow beyond the classroom. Strengthen your adaptability, problem-solving, and communication skills through travel and cultural exchange.
- Increase cultural awareness. Deepen your understanding of diverse communities, traditions, and global social issues through immersive experiences.
Things to know
Before jumping into your internship abroad, it’s important to prepare for travel logistics, program expectations, and cultural immersion.
- Visa and paperwork. Research visa requirements early, as additional documentation may be needed depending on your destination and specialty.
- Language basics. Learn key phrases in the local language to build trust and improve communication with community members.
- Budget and logistics. Plan for travel, program fees, accommodation, and daily expenses to stay financially prepared and comfortable.
- Health and safety. Stay protected with the necessary vaccinations, travel insurance, and safety plans for emergencies or unexpected changes.
