Internship/Volunteer

SHAREcircle (SHARE for short) offers academic and unpaid internships and volunteer opportunities to qualified individuals throughout the year.

Erin Bridgewater - Volunteer Administration Assistant.

SHARE is a humanitarian agency working in countries emerging from conflicts and civil strife. Its mission is to create economic opportunities, restore hope and forge a better tomorrow. SHARE is committed to promoting economic development and self-reliance, improving health and education, providing relief to disaster victims, internally displaced people and refugees, advancing human rights, and protecting the environment.

SHARE has worked in the Bié, Kuando Kubango and Huambo provinces of Angola since the beginning of 1999. What makes SHARE unique is its intimate connection with Angola and its extensive network of volunteers located both here in the US and in Angola.
