About [Edit]
Global Service Corps Thailand Internship Program is designed for those who are interested in having an in-depth service learning experience in Thailand, while participating in international development. It offers a unique way to experience Thai culture while contributing to and learning from the community. GSC Thailand interns live with local host families while completing internships in International Health, HIV/AIDS Education and Prevention, English Education, or Buddhist Immersion.
At the start of each program, interns undergo a 6-day orientation and training period that begins upon arrival in Bangkok and concludes at the GSC orientation center in Singburi. Topics covered during the orientation and training include Thai language lessons, discussions on Thai culture, an introduction to teaching English as a second language, and training in teaching HIV/AIDS education and prevention if applicable.
GSC works with each participant to assist them in selecting the appropriate internship program. Every effort is made to ensure that both the needs of the participant and the community are met during the internship. All interns, regardless of the focus they choose, spend some of their time teaching English as a second language. Participants choosing an International Health Internship also shadow hospital staff while imparting valuable English skills to the hospital staff.
The GSC internship program is an excellent way for students who are looking for an adventure to fulfill either internship or independent study requirements. Students need not be U.S. citizens to participate. Academic credit may be obtained through the student's home institution or through our GSC partner institution, SUNY Albany. For further information, see our procedures for obtaining academic credit.
Although no specific educational background is required, Thailand internships would be particularly appropriate for those studying the following: international studies, sociology, pre-med, political science, cross-cultural anthropology, women's studies, English as a second language, religious studies, international health, nursing, community studies, Asian studies, and development studies.
The number of internship spaces is limited depending on the month. To ensure you are accepted, apply early!
