Truth-based storytelling and assisting nonprofits, summer 2023
The Newhouse Center for Global Engagement has secured communication-specific internship opportunities in Cape Town, South Africa with long-time Syracuse University partner, iKapa Impact.
iKapa Impact is a social services company based in Cape Town, South Africa that offers unique internships through a study abroad format in truth-based storytelling and assisting nonprofits with their public profiling. The company is committed to ethical engagements with local communities and matches internship opportunities to where skill meets need. The company offers structured, meaningful placements where interns see the importance of their contribution towards responsible projects happening in local South African communities. The company focuses on organizations and companies that are serious about changing the narrative of inequities in South Africa and ensures that the real needs of the local communities are met. The company’s aim is not to create a cycle of dependency on aid or volunteers, but to have systems that are mutually beneficial to the interns and locals.
