Working here has been a very enriching experience. The work environment is incredibly positive and full of opportunities to learn and grow. From the very first day, I felt part of a dynamic and collaborative team, which created the perfect environment for my personal and professional development.

At Stop Child Abuse, our mission is to eradicate child abuse through comprehensive strategies focused on prevention, intervention, and support. We aim to create a society where every child can grow up in a safe and nurturing environment, free from physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. Our efforts include raising mass awareness about the signs and effects of abuse, advocating for stronger child protection laws, providing resources for victims and their families, and educating communities on how to recognize and report abuse. Through collaboration with government agencies, NGOs, educators, and communities, we strive to ensure that every child is protected and empowered to reach their full potential. Together, we work towards a future where child abuse is not just addressed, but eliminated.

An internship with us offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in an organization that will teach you the ins and outs of the position you are applying for. This isn’t your typical internship where you’ll be buried in paperwork or stuck handing out flyers. Instead, you’ll work on meaningful projects that align with our mission, contribute to impactful initiatives, and develop professional skills in a supportive, collaborative setting.

We seek individuals with a genuine passion for standing up against child abuse, as this cause is central to our mission. The ideal candidate should possess strong attention to detail, be proactive, and can work independently. Equally important, we value a strong team spirit, as we believe it enhances our collective efforts. We appreciate candidates who can contribute positively to our collaborative and supportive environment, bringing out the best in themselves and their colleagues.

After you submit your application, resume, and cover letter, our recruitment team will review your materials and consult with relevant departments within our organization. If your application meets our criteria, we’ll invite you for an interview to discuss your experience, knowledge, and motivation for the internship. We will provide you with all necessary information to help you prepare. Interviews may be conducted in person or via video conference.

We are headquartered in Washington, D.C., with a growing presence in Europe. In the Netherlands, we have two strategically located offices in Delft and The Hague. Both offices are conveniently situated near the central train stations, making them easily accessible by public transport. This strategic positioning offers flexibility in choosing your workplace and ensures convenient commuting options for our interns.

This trip provides invaluable experience, networking opportunities, and exposure to diverse professional and cultural contexts. This initiative reflects our commitment to fostering the growth and development of our interns, giving you the opportunity to broaden your horizons and gain valuable professional skills.
