Internships

Internships in Palestine provide a unique opportunity to engage deeply with the realities of colonialism and resistance, gain firsthand experience in grassroots organizing, and contribute to the struggle for justice and liberation. These internships allow individuals to work alongside Palestinian communities, learn from their resilience, and develop a comprehensive understanding of the socio-political landscape. The Good Shepherd Collective has years of working with interns to ensure both a challenging and safe experience.
