Meet Yonela Mhlauli, our Impact Support and Intern Manager Yonela manages the progress and plans of the AIF programs and oversees the internship program. She has a background in textile design but transitioned into the NGO sector in 2015 during her time as a Team Leader on the Desmond Tutu Foundation Youth Program, where she gained a profound understanding of how nonprofits strive to enhance community quality of life. Yonela is dedicated to fostering a thriving environment for interns while assisting the Foundation team in making a positive impact. We asked Yonela to answer a few questions about her work with the Foundation: 1️⃣ What do you love about working for the African Impact Foundation? It is rewarding to work for an organisation like the African Impact Foundation, knowing that our work benefits many Africans, especially youth. Since I was a child, I have always been determined to positively impact people's lives and make a difference in the world. My journey over the last few years has allowed me to be part of those making a difference. It motivates me to work with a team dedicated to uplifting communities and empowering others. 2️⃣ What does a typical work day look like for you? Although some say working remotely is not as exciting as working on the ground, I find satisfaction in knowing that my work supports the work done there. Each day is different. As Impact and Internship manager, my daily duties are streamlined with tasks aimed at overseeing the smooth implementation and running of our projects and our NGO internship program. As part of my role, I support the development of ongoing and planned programs and monitor and evaluate their impact by collecting data from the project team. As a part of internship management, I am responsible for recruiting and onboarding our interns and helping them find suitable placements aligned to their goals. I assist the operations manager in ensuring interns are engaged in learning and growth-oriented tasks. 3️⃣ What is your favourite type of work? I enjoy being involved in developing programs that help change lives. I am motivated by my team and the leadership of the organisation. My biggest aspiration is to protect and embrace the values that the African Impact Foundation stands for. 4️⃣ Is there anything else you would like to add? I value the journey that this organisation has taken over the past few years, especially from 2021, when a major shift was made and the organisation began focusing on youth with the focus of providing pathways to prosperity. I look back in awe and I value all the efforts that have gone into shaping the African Impact Foundation into what it is today. Interested in getting to know the rest of our outstanding team?

𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 – 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗚𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁. I often receive messages like, “How can I break into the development space?" or "Help me land a job in the NGO sector." Well, here’s a piece of advice on how to break into the development field, especially without prior experience—start with volunteering or internship programs. These opportunities give you a unique chance to dive deep into the workings of the development sector, gaining hands-on experience in your chosen thematic areas. Many seasoned professionals in the development sector can attest to starting their journey as volunteers, laying the foundation for successful careers. So, if you're eager to contribute to meaningful change but feel lost on where to begin, consider taking that first step into volunteering. You might be surprised at how a small commitment can set the stage for a fulfilling career in the world of impact. ——————————————————— I'm Maureen Alor, a development program specialist.

Do you remember what it was like to secure your first meaningful role? How important that was for how your life has panned out? How much mana that brought to you and your whanau? That's the impact we're trying to create through Talent's charitable foundation Talent RISE. We help rangatahi who have experienced a range of barriers to find their purpose again, connect with their strengths, uplift their mana and to secure meaningful life changing employment. In a couple of weeks, we are conducting our annual Step Up For Rise Challenge where the entire company (who is able to) walks 20km's. We are NOT raising money to fund the running costs of the programme; that is funded principally by Talent. We ARE raising money for three brand-new initiatives and with your help we can accelerate the success of these programmes: · Equal Access Program: This program will support young people from refugee, asylum seeker, or Indigenous backgrounds by covering the cost of training (alongside RISE work readiness support) to provide a platform for future security. · Paid Internship Scheme: Paid internships can be life-changing but are often impossible to secure for the young people we work with. This scheme will fund internships which provide critical experience to help young people gain confidence and secure employment. · Tech Academy: The Tech Academy will fund a group of young people through work placements and training to acquire invaluable skills and experience, providing them with a clear pathway into tech roles – a pathway they never thought possible. If you’re in a position to help a young person, please donate to our fundraising campaign on the below link, and if you have a role that you’d love to discuss a young person for, please get in touch with myself or the team at RISE. #StepUpForRISE #TalentRISE #lifechangingemployment #newzealand #auckland

Hi, it’s Tsukine, an INTO Giving intern in Brighton, and sadly this is my final week as an intern... time flies! In today’s post, I’d like to share some of the things that I did as an INTO Giving intern within a word limit. 1. Social Media Management: Creating content using Canva, managing posts with an app, and increasing engagement through tagging, mentioning, and hashtags. 2. Brand Awareness: Introducing projects and organisations which INTO Giving supports on social media and creating INTO Giving posters for INTO students. 3. Student Engagement: Coming up with student engagement ideas as a former INTO student and providing viewpoints as an INTO student. 4. Website Improvement: Updating INTO Giving website. 5. MS Office apps & Communications: Using MS Office effectively. Communicating with the team, people in the office and other interns in London and San Francisco for collaboration. 6. Attending Meetings: Attending meetings on merchandising, campaigns as a part of the team. In addition, I could make the most of my stay at Brighton as well, including volunteering at local Oxfam on weekends, visiting various sights nearby, and enjoying the overall experience as an international student. I would like to thank the INTO Giving team, INTO staff in the Brighton office, INTO UEA staff who have supported me and last but not least Andrew Colin, an INTO University Partnerships' Founder, who made this internship accessible for students of any financial circumstances. I appreciate this amazing opportunity so much. Thank you for reading! <What is INTO Giving internship?> It is a unique opportunity to develop employability for INTO students/graduates offered by INTO Giving, the philanthropic branch of INTO University Partnerships. To help ensure students from a variety of financial backgrounds feel encouraged to apply, INTO Giving will assist with accommodation, travel costs and daily subsistence. The internship programme costs are paid with financial support from INTO University Partnerships' Founder, Andrew Colin. No donations from our supporters are used to finance this programme. #intogiving #intouea #intostudy #studentinternship #npo
