Through Wellesley Internships in India, students undertake ten-week summer internships in Delhi, Mumbai, and Varanasi. Placements are available in grassroots educational, organizing, and advocacy organizations. Responsibilities and projects include research, teaching, mentoring, communications, and office projects. Participation will enable students to develop flexibility, knowledge of the complexities and cultures of India, and the ability to work in varying cultural contexts.

Our current offerings are applicable to the following areas of study: government, education, women’s studies, human rights, peace and justice studies, and religion. Extensive knowledge of South Asia or fluency in Hindi is not always required. Placements in India occur when it is summer in India, where temperatures range from 85-115 F. Students will live in basic, clean, and safe accommodations.
