Please obtain more information on our current internships and apply directly using the relevant code number. The number of internships within our organisation is limited to warrant the best possible support. Even if you don't find what you are looking for, we recommend that you visit our homepage on a regular basis, as internships often become available on very short notice.

If you are not able to find an internship (that appeals to you), you can also send us a general application to recruitment.praktika@welthungerhilfe.de.

In principle, it is possible to complete an internship in all units and Regional Desks of our organisation. If we are interested in your application and motivation, we will review possible internships within our organisation. To this end, it is helpful if you can provide information about your preferences (unit, duration etc.).
