Job Title: Teaching & Mentoring Internship Program

Organisation: Ashinaga

Duty Station: Kampala, Uganda

Stipend: UGX 650,000/= monthly

About Organisation:

Ashinaga is a Japanese non-profit organization that provides educational and emotional support to young people who have experienced the loss of one or both parents. In the past 45 years, Ashinaga has raised over $1 billion to enable more than 100,000 orphaned students to complete higher education in Japan. In 2001, Ashinaga expanded beyond its domestic activities and now supports a global community of disadvantaged young people, with a focus on Sub-Saharan Africa. We now have offices in Uganda, Senegal, the United States, the United Kingdom, Brazil, and France. We have supported over 100 orphaned students from Sub-Saharan Africa to study at universities in Japan, Europe, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Brazil.

About Ashinaga:

The Ashinaga Africa Initiative (Anglophone and Lusophone) will welcome around 30 selected scholars from around 30 different countries in Sub-Saharan Africa to our leadership program in Kampala, Uganda, to receive academic training in their studies of interest, as well as assistance applying to universities around the world. Through education, Ashinaga hopes to empower its students to make the change that they wish to see in their communities, countries, and Africa as a whole. These students have all lost one or both parents, and have been specifically chosen due to their academic ability, financial need, and potential for leadership.

Anglophone and Lusophone students attend a in person Study Camp 1 (July – October) and online Study Camp 2 (October – December), which focuses on academic improvement, as well as university applications.

Job Summary: We are looking for a range of interns to support these students, during the IN PERSON Study Camp 1 (July – October) and ONLINE during Study Camp 2 (October – December). The intern will support the students in IELTS and SAT exam preparation, essay writing, mathematics, and subject-specific studies.

This internship is an opportunity for open-minded and driven interns to not only develop their teaching and mentoring by designing their own lessons, engaging with innovative pedagogical methods, applying creative problem solving but also a hands on opportunity to learn about the challenges and possibilities in African education and development.

Students then participate in a remote Preparation Camp (April – June). The Preparation Camp is only attended by Ashinaga’s Anglophone students, and it is focused on preparing scholars for life at university in another culture and leadership.

Join us to make a big impact on the lives of these students, whilst learning more about yourself and gaining a wealth of international experience!

Note: The students you will work with are mostly soon-to-be university students, aged 18-22.

Create, in collaboration with other interns and supervisors, an academic program catering to the students’ needs.
Advise the students about their options of universities abroad, and guide them through the application process.
