CCRAF Internship Programme
The Centre for Community Resilience and Advocacy Foundation (CCRAF) invites applications for its Non-Stipend-Based Internship Programme from motivated students and early-career scholars across universities and academic institutions in India.
The programme offers a structured learning, research, and field engagement platform, enabling interns to explore and contribute evidence-based ideas, strategies, and community-oriented solutions in the domains of student holistic well-being, education, gender equity, and women empowerment.
Through this internship, participants gain hands-on exposure to grassroots initiatives, research and documentation, advocacy activities, and community outreach programmes, while applying theoretical knowledge to real-world social challenges. Interns work closely with CCRAF’s multidisciplinary team and contribute meaningfully to ongoing projects and policy-relevant interventions.
