Human Connections’ summer and winter internship programs occur during school breaks and allow students to learn about working with a social enterprise, in sustainable development, business, marketing, tourism, hospitality and more, depending on students’ strengths and areas of study. Students collaborate on two projects while they are here, one directly with Human Connections and one with our local partners. These projects allow you to have direct impact on families and communities in this region and help our own organization grow! During the internships we also visit other areas of interest in the Riviera Nayarit, we hold educational workshops and we visit other local sustainable tourism establishments.
