Embark on a transformative journey with Play Action International as a Summer Projects Intern, contributing to the charity's mission of enhancing children's learning, development, and access to education through the power of play.
As a Summer Projects Intern, you will play a pivotal role in supporting Play Action staff, focusing on logistics, international development project management, and volunteer welfare. You'll manage 20-30 volunteers alongside a National intern, ensuring a seamless and enriching experience for all involved.
Your responsibilities include overseeing pre-project visits, facilitating airport pick-ups, and conducting inductions for volunteers arriving in East Africa. Beyond logistical support, you will take a leading role in volunteer welfare, addressing issues ranging from disputes to homesickness, ensuring the safety and happiness of all volunteers.
Collaboration is key as you coordinate weekends, activities, and accommodation, working closely with International Event Coordinators. Maintaining high levels of communication between volunteers, local communities, and PAI staff is crucial for the success of the projects. Additionally, your role involves liaising with the build team and after-school projects to ensure a balanced workload and sustained team motivation.
