Applications for Intake 2 of 2010 are now closed. Please check back here soon for information about Intake 1 of 2011.
Interns play an integral role in the running of Amnesty NZ. We have recently restructured our Internship Programme to ensure that participants are given a rewarding and valuable experience.
We run two intern intakes per year. Days and hours are flexible - but interns are required to work at least 30 hours per week, with preference given to those who can commit to more hours.
The second intake for 2010 runs from 30th June until 15th December.
For any queries or to submit an application form, please email Chris Kerr, chris.kerr@amnesty.org.nz. (Please note only applications accompanied by the completed application form and CV will be considered).

International Internships
Our International Secretariat in London, and its seven global offices also run an internship programme. Interns are generally recruited for a four to six month period, to carry out administrative- and project-related work within the Media and Audio Visual, International Law Organisation, Policy and Evaluation, Americas, and International Fundraising programmes.

Testimonies from past Interns
"I joined Amnesty as a media& communications intern for 4 months. What surprised me was the friendliness of the team - you feel at home after your first step into the office. You can feel every day, in each person, an amazing energy for fighting to protect Human Rights- we all share one thing in common, a true love for humanity. Working at Amnesty was a unique and challenging experience, because there is just so much to do, because you are respected and always listened by all the team and because it gives you joy every day. Coming from France, New Zealand was also a great and beautiful place to stay and visit. I'd definitely recommend to come and work there."
Florencio de Andrade, Media and Communications Intern 2009
"I started as a campaigns intern 3 months ago and can only recommend it! The great diversity of tasks and the stimulating atmosphere at AIANZ makes my internship one of the most valuable experiences in human rights I could have imagined. The work is challenging, the results are valued and the team I cooperate with is amazing. And since I am from
"I felt that being part of this powerful movement, no matter how small your contribution is, one can make a huge difference and will ultimately be heard. My working colleagues, fellow interns, and Amnesty members of all sorts have made this experience an unforgettable one for me! I have gained so much knowledge, insight and confidence to step up for myself and others that I am sure I will benefit from it for many years to come. Thank you Amnesty International." Elgin Feuschar, Youth Intern 2008.
