About Program

Want to put up your digital marketing skills for a good cause? Roots Interns offers you the exciting opportunity to get hands-on experience while also helping a social enterprise develop a wider online presence and spread their mission on the internet!

This internship will take you to Johannesburg, South Africa, where you'll be working with Digital Butter, a local digital marketing agency that supports non-profit organizations by providing them social media, fundraising, web design and branding. These small non-profit organizations work on all kinds of social impact programs, but lack enough resources to run their own online campaigns. That's why Digital Butter and you will help them gain media presence and take a burden off their shoulders!

This internship is perfect for those who are interested in communications, marketing and fundraising, and also want to support grassroots charities in South Africa.

Impact

Sustainability

Having started off as the offshoot of an urban greening project, Roots Interns has always been aware of our environmental impact. That's why we work with projects and accommodations that are also actively aware of their impact and striving to make a positive difference. By consciously choosing partners that have sustainable practices in place, we can work towards balancing out any impacts on the environment with equally positive actions.

Ethical Impact

Roots Interns was built around a need for qualified interns in the sustainable development sector. Whether supporting environmental or wildlife conservation or social development, our internships leave a tangible positive footprint on people’s lives and their environment. Working at a grassroots level ensures that the needs of host communities are always at the forefront, no matter the specific cause. Many of our partners support the UN Sustainable Development Goals, further aligning our internships with creating sustainable change. We take great pride in the impact our interns create with the organization they work with and the connections they're able to make in new locations and cultures.
