Social Work Internships in Cape Town

There are many meaningful social work internships in Cape Town, due in part to the level of social inequality that South Africa is currently dealing with. Inequalities in education, health care, housing and employment opportunities are being addressed by nonprofits and government agencies, often with key roles being played by social workers. Whether your interest lies in working with young people affected by HIV/AIDS, or carrying out psycho-social screenings at a refugee case center, or something else, our Cape Town team would love to find the social work internship that’s right for you.

Check out our other social work internships in Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Dublin and Shanghai.
