Projects Abroad High School Internships in Tanzania
About Program
With more than 30 years' experience organizing safe and meaningful trips for young people under 18, Projects Abroad offer exciting projects for 2, 3 or 4 weeks and involve teens in issues like childcare, construction, and medicine in Tanzania.
With a medicine internship, you will get a first-hand look at the work medical professionals do on a daily basis, educate children about health issues, and even provide much-needed basic health care to rural communities surrounding Arusha.
Alternatively you can immerse yourself in traditional Tanzanian culture as you care for the community through volunteer work. You can support early childhood development through care or building and renovating classrooms in schools, providing a more stimulating learning environment.
