About Street Child

Street Child is a UK-based international non-governmental organization (NGO) dedicated to ensuring that children in some of the world's most fragile and low-income communities have access to education. The organization works with local partners to establish schools, train teachers, and provide educational support, operating in over 20 countries across Africa and Asia. Their work focuses on creating sustainable, community-led education projects that address the root causes of educational exclusion.

While Street Child's global headquarters are in London, UK, the organization has a growing presence in Spain, primarily through fundraising and communication roles. For international professionals, particularly those with backgrounds in fundraising, communications, or non-profit management, Street Child offers the opportunity to apply their skills in a mission-driven environment. The Spanish roles, such as the fundraising and communication internships, are designed to support the organization's growth in the Spanish-speaking market and provide a meaningful entry point for international talent looking to contribute to a global cause.

Working languages are primarily English, but the Spain-based roles may require or benefit from French or Italian language skills.
The organization has a global, remote-friendly culture, with teams spread across different countries.
As a charity, salaries may be lower than in the private sector, but the experience and networking opportunities are valuable.

In their own words

About the company & team

Street Child is a charity dedicated to empowering some of the most vulnerable children in the world by giving them the chance to go to school and giving their families the sustainable means to keep them there. There's never been a better time to get behind our cause; we are an ambitious and exciting international development charity and this is your chance to be a part of an incredible fundraising adventure!

At Street Child, we are very lucky to have fantastic volunteers committed, keeping overheads low so that as much funding as possible can go to our projects in West Africa and Asia. We are currently looking for a full time (33 hours/week) Italian intern to join us in our Barcelona office. The preferred internship duration is 6 months; however shorter durations can be discussed.

Street Child embraces skills diversity among interns and we are more than happy, according to our current needs, to craft tasks depending on the personal qualities of the intern and/or give the intern freedom to apply his/her personal skills.
