I’ve been pursuing my Undergraduate degree from Pune University, India. Given my course is in Information Technology & I’ve been studying about it for 5 years now, I usually have a few hours every week that can be used for volunteering for organisations supporting livelihood for women.

I was looking for internships that were available & stumbled upon TribesforGOOD’s Social Media & Brand Strategist Internship.
It looked like a unique opportunity to me as it was about making a lasting impact on the communities that I shall be working with through this internship. And also, cause I could work remotely from my home.

After applying for it, the founder Mandeep got in touch with me to understand what I was looking to giveback through this internship which was a unique take for me as most of the positions I had applied earlier asked me what I wanted to gain from the internship.
So it wasn’t just about me but about the beneficiaries too.

I worked as a content creator & writer for a period of 4-weeks with TribesforGOOD & loved the work I had to do. Through my work at TribesforGOOD I was able to learn a lot of skills in terms of social media & got insights into the social enterprise space.

Now I truly dream to apply this knowledge & become a social entrepreneur myself.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?

The biggest giveback came in the form of gratitude from the organisation TribesforGOOD was helping to increase their social media awareness. Through us they could reach out to at least 30% more audience which impacted their business is a positive sense & the profits help run households of 25 women.

Next time I am in Mumbai, I'd like to visit the NGO that I impacted and try volunteering a bit more with them.

I worked with TribesforGOOD on an internship that focused on women empowerment and provide livelihood opportunities. I have always been passionate about social enterprises and giving back. This opportunity was perfect for me. I enrolled into the 3- week social media strategist internship with a focus on design, innovative thinking & executing strategies. I am a third year student so it is difficult for me to travel. TribesforGOOD was able to solve this issue by offering me a remote internship.

Throughout the internship, I had a facilitator from TribesforGOOD. The first few days were training to get a deeper understanding of the organisation and the project assigned to me. The team ensured that they were available despite the time zone differences. We had
Weekly discussions/calls to track & assist with the progress. I felt I had contributed well and made an impact. Looking forward to the next semester when I get a chance to work with them again on climate change.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?

I would like to redo this internship in Mumbai & work with TribesforGOOD's team. Understanding the role of social enterprises in social impact sector & how they go about achieving it.

Questions & Answers

Staff Interviews

These are in-depth Q&A sessions with program leaders.

What is your favorite travel memory?

My favorite travel memory is of visiting Rajasthan, India. I travelled along with my friends and fell in love with the grandeur of the place. From lavish palaces and huge forts to people happily embracing their traditions & cultures with a modern touch to it.

I still can’t forget how happy we were to camp under the stars in the desert of Jaisalmer listening to folk music being played by artists that have been playing for generations. It took us to the time of nomads, being truly content to have great company and being back in touch with nature.

It was New Year’s Eve & restaurants around us had shut very early. We were famished after a long journey & an elderly gentleman, who was our guide, took us to his place & we dined with his family. We ate the traditional Rajasthani food – Daal Baati & Gatte (made out of gram flour). This was definitely one of my best travel memories.

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

Working at TribesforGOOD is my first professional job and I am loving it. The best thing that’s happened to me is that I’ve been learning lots of new things & being able to get out of my comfort zone, whilst working with organizations creating a better world for all.

The team I work with is extremely supportive, innovative, humble and always trying to push the boundaries. They have facilitated my growth and helped me realize my potential in numerous aspects.
I’ve grown in terms of realizing my own potential as a change maker, helping me expand my skill set, and allowing me to gain a new perspective of thinking.

What is the best story you've heard from a return student?

I was really inspired by one of the students who really understood social change. He has been volunteering since he was a young kid. He really understood how a Western person could make things worse for developing countries, especially working with children from disadvantaged backgrounds. He had first seen how orphanages are not run well, how kids can be scarred for life. He worked with us on training modules for young kids. The modules were delivered by trained facilitators.

If you could go on any program that your company offers, which one would you choose and why?

So here’s an interesting story. I joined TribesforGOOD as a full time professional a few months back, but even before that, I was associated with TribesforGOOD as an intern. I took up their summer internship program in Marketing & it was such a massive opportunity, which I would realize in the months to come.

I got to understand the intricacies of a social enterprise, the insights of a company’s marketing strategies & as I was working from a co-working space, it was always fun to meet various organisations and gain a new perspective of a number of various businesses.

It really helped build upon my leadership skills and I went on to organize a TEDx event at my university with the knowledge & confidence I gained by working with Tribes. Then the opportunity came to choose between working at a corporate firm and working with a social enterprise like Tribes. It was an easy choice to make.

For me it has always been about maintaining a balance between how much you take from society & how much do you give back. I am doing my bit, and would urge you to do yours.

Although I have already participated in the internship program, I would also love to take part in Young Changemakers because I can work on a unique action project!

What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?

We are committed to giving our participants passion, care, and commitment, and we work hard to make sure that they have an amazing time with us.

TribesForGood is unique in that we attract great professionals with extensive experience as well as a diversity of individuals from across the world. We have students and professionals who join us from different countries. Yet we all come together with one purpose and that is to make a difference in the lives of others.

We try our best to provide a very personalized experience for our participants so they get out as much as they put in. We hope that they will use what they learnt to continue working in the social impact scene around the world. We are small enough to have a friendly environment where everyone feels connected and part of our tribe. Even once people leave, they are always welcome to seek guidance and advice from us, wherever they are in the world.

I am/was especially proud of my team for building an environment of trust, growth and support.

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

I believe the biggest factor for a successful company is the mission of the company & how do they acquire the right team for it. A team with a common goal, values and skills along with a positive mindset can go on to achieve success.

Functioning as a single unit and having empathy towards your teammates is what makes a company reach heights in the long run,
