If you love animals and are up to the challenge of protecting them, join our internships in animal welfare. IGS students have worked in shelters and dog daycares in Hawaii, Boston, Auckland, Sydney, and other locations worldwide. Shelter work focuses primarily on cats and dogs no longer cared for, have been abandoned, or were born feral. Shelters protect both animals and society from unsafe relationships and interactions. They provide immunizations and create a safe space for the animals to integrate into human society if possible. Our students help the staff check in new animals. They accompany the staff during board meetings. They carry out daily rounds to check in on animal welfare and health. When medical care is needed, they accompany the dogs or cats to the veterinarian.

A Guide to Interning Abroad in the United States
Prepare for an Internship
Set goals
Figuring out what you want to do is one thing, but doing so in the USA can be an even bigger task! After narrowing down your field, here are a few questions to consider when considering goals:
- Are there any professional (or personal) achievements I’d like to make while interning?
- Learn valuable personal and professional skills that build growth.
- Connect with people both personally and professionally while learning more about the world and yourself. In what ways are they connected?
Goals look different for everyone! Use these, get inspired, or leave them here. Whatever works!
Understand the benefits
Regardless of what you know of the States, it’s undeniable that there’s much to experience there!
- Accommodation assistance is typical. Employers will help or have accommodations that generally have all the Western standards.
- Lots to do and see. The USA offers everything from historical and cultural sites to sports communities to a colorful social nightlife. Looking for outdoor activities after work—the US has you covered!
- Vast food options. It’s no secret that the offerings are a bit mind-boggling with options ranging from staple regional specialties to incredible indigenous fairs to the wild fusion-inspired options that have become American.
Things to know
You might be wondering what you should look into as you plan to intern in the US. Here are the top things you have to work on:
- Basics - Most internships need good English skills and are aimed at students or young professionals. You’ll likely need health insurance, so look into that early. Show initiative and commitment—it’s key to success in many work cultures.
- Cost of living - Costs vary by location, so know what your program covers and plan a budget to manage your spending.
- Visas - Check visa requirements early since most internships need one. Stay connected with your embassy for help and resources.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you’re an international student looking for an internship in the US, you’ll first want to figure out if you need the F-1 student visa or J-1 exchange visa. In some cases (like the J-1 visa) you’ll also need a sponsor. Once you know which visa you’ll be applying for, it’ll be easier to get an internship, either by searching online or through your university.
After finding viable internship opportunities, you can either apply through a program provider or directly to the company you’re interested in interning at. You’ll need to present your resume/CV and (most likely) a cover letter, as well as proof of English language proficiency and visa eligibility.
There are internship opportunities all across the USA! Depending on your field, some locations might be more relevant than others. For example, if you’re interning in technology or computer programming, California is probably a good place to start looking.
If you’re a US citizen, it’ll be easier to find paid internship opportunities in the US. In certain cases, international students are also eligible for paid internships. There are stipulations that allow you to be paid on both the F-1 and J-1 visas, so be sure to ask your internship provider about this.
To intern in the US, you’ll either need a F-1 student visa or J-1 exchange visa. The F-1 visa is for international students who intend to study full time in the US (but allows up to 20 hours of work per week in approved settings), while the J-1 exchange visa is intended for cultural exchange participants.
