Background
We provide vital aid for relief and development in over 90 countries and support vulnerable communities in Hong Kong. By redistributing quality goods and collaborating with NGOs, we tackle entrenched poverty and enhance sustainability. In times of crisis, we focus on disaster response and best practices. We are a crossroads between need and resource. We are currently looking for interns in multiple departments; this post will be updated continuously with new openings. The internship period is August to December, with exact start/end dates negotiable. You will work a minimum of two days per week - exact schedule is negotiable depending on your assigned department. At the end of the internship, you'll be awarded a certificate, reference letter, and a permanent place in the global Crossroads community!
What We Have
You'll be working closely with your department manager to receive training tailored to your role. You'll be given the freedom to work independently, but always with support and guidance from our experienced full-time team.

What We Do
Crossroads Foundation is a Hong Kong based, non-profit organisation serving global need. We believe that, in a broken world that sees too much suffering, we should do all we can to link those who are in need with those who can provide help. So we provide an intersection, literally a crossroads, to bring both together.
- Global Distribution: This distributes Hong Kong's quality excess goods as needed, internationally and locally. It provides a crossroads between need and supply.
- Global X-perience: This offers simulated x-periences of global need. It provides a crossroads between the lifestyles of the rich and poor.
- Global Handicrafts: This sells fair trade goods from people in poverty. It is a crossroads between those needing a fair income and those with buying power.
- Global Hand: This provides a 'matching' website for public- private partnerships. It is a crossroads between for-profit and non-profit organizations who wish to address global need.
