Applying

Interested in applying? Great! We’re excited you want to work with Chadika!

First, there are a few things to consider.

(1) All interns must be current Colby students (with preference given to members of Luzi). And students who are not currently members of Luzi should join the club and begin to learn about the partnership between Luzi and Chadika. Be prepared to share your experience when you return to the Hill!
(2) Internships will take place during JanPlan, although you do not have to earn Colby’s JanPlan or internship credit to apply.

Interns should be:

• flexible: things won’t always work out as planned; it’s necessary to be able to develop back up plans and be comfortable adapting to unexpected situations
• have the ability to work independently: while interns will receive support from the Face-to-Face staff, they will also be expected to carry out their own projects. Interns should be comfortable taking initiative
• aware of and sensitive to other cultures and ways of thinking: Malawians approach life and many other topics in a ways that are new and different to interns. Interns must not judge or condemn other ways of thinking but embrace and learn from our differences and similarities.

In addition to the completed application, you will need to submit a resume with attached cover letter and one professional reference letter (click HERE to download form). Please submit all forms to LuziCare’s president, Clare Peaslee at [email protected] by November 15. You may also direct all questions to Clare.

You’ll be notified via email if you are selected to participate in January’s internship program. Once selected, you will work with Face-to-Face and Chadika to plan the specifics of your internship!
