The Anchor Point Internships in Global Leadership were established through the generosity of Amy Batchelor ’88 and Brad Feld. Students will undertake ten-week summer internships in programs that foster students’ connections to the global community, and encourage global leadership skills and activities. In 2009, Anchor Point internship placements are available in Douala, Cameroon, and in Cape Verde, to students from a variety of academic backgrounds. Internship sites range from a foundation dedicated to young women’s scientific and technological education to a local women’s NGO working to improve economic and social conditions. These community development-based projects will enable students to encounter the diversity, creative dynamism, and humanity existing throughout the world. For additional internships in Africa, please see our Wellesley Internships in Africa Program.
