Internship
Internship programme
UREA offers internships to Ugandans and East African students working in related fields to our programme areas, and also accepts international internships, depending on the need and available openings within the organization.
While applications are considered on a rolling basis, it is advisable to apply early as UREA considers small number of interns to be accommodated and the application process is highly competitive.
UREA has a summer internship programme, in which applicants are accepted for a shorter time period between May and August. The deadline for the summer programme is 31st March and preference is given to those who can commit for longer periods of time.
Application procedure:
Applicants are requested to send a curriculum vitae, academic or professional references, and covering letter to recruitment@umojarescueagency.org
The covering letter should include:
- Preferred area of work (programme or unit)
- Motivation and expectations from the internship
- In what ways the applicant can support UREA’s daily activities
Applicants are encouraged to apply early for any position, and are reminded that the application deadline for all summer placements is 31st March each year.

- Interns are NOT paid and applicants should expect to be fully self-sufficient.
- Foreign Interns are EXPECTED to be fully self-funded, organize for their visa prior to arrival in Uganda, have adequate medical and life insurance, and be adaptable to living in conditions of a developing country.
