Internship At Sangam
Sangam interns bring their ideas and talents to Sangam and contribute to the management and development of the World Centre.
Discover your potential and become a leader at a WAGGGS World Centre!
The World Centres Volunteer and Internship Leadership Programme places over 100 participants a year at the World Centres to grow their leadership.
World Centre Volunteer Leaders deliver programmes, events, and activities whilst assisting with running World Centres. They build international friendships, have fun, engage in outdoor challenges, learn new skills, and the experience of a lifetime is guaranteed!
The World Centres Volunteer & Interns Leadership programme is a 3 – 6 month residential leadership experience for Girl Guides and Girl Scouts over 18 years old. Based at one of the World Centres you will join a group of between 5 – 10 other volunteer leaders. During your time at the Centre you will build your confidence, learn new skills, gain a greater understanding of the world and become an inspirational leader.
Being a part of World Centre Team
Working as part of the World Centre team, you and your fellow Volunteer Leaders will support the successful running of the Centre and make sure Girls and young women from across the world can have a life changing experience where they build new skills, connect with others from around the world and build their own leadership and confidence.
You will get involved in all parts of running the Centre from working in a commercial kitchen to helping organise and execute a maintenance project, to delivering programmes to groups of Girl Guides and Girls Scouts, to running the Centre’s social media pages and much much more! Through these hands-on experiences, you will be able to explore your passions and learn new skills that will help you for the rest of your life. At the same time, training and mentoring, based on the WAGGGS Leadership Model and learning methodologies will support you to reflect on your experience and build your leadership skills.
All this happens in a truly international environment with people from all over the world as part of the programme and visiting the Centres. This means you will have the world at your fingers tips and as you build global friendships with fellow members of the Movement you will also be able to learn about other cultures and customs, broadening your horizons, making you a truly global citizen.
You will leave this programme:
- A World Centre Leader, living the WAGGGS Leadership Mindsets
- With more confidence,
- With friends from all over the world,
- With more skills,
- More connected to the global Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting Movement,
- And as a global citizen
You will return home with amazing memories, the support of your Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting family and inspired to make an impact!
