Why a remote internship?

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to run an NGO? Our remote internship provides valuable experience that can be used to launch a career in nonprofit work or simply to gain skills that will help you succeed in the nonprofit world. We are a non-governmental organization that seeks to carry out projects and spaces to study the current global state of freedom of expression, especially in the digital realm. As societies move toward increasingly technocratic systems—where decision-making is often automated or influenced by opaque algorithms—we question who holds power, who sets the rules, and how rights can be preserved in such environments. Our goal is to contribute to a future where technological development aligns with democratic values and human dignity.

Our established remote internship will give you the opportunity to put the skills you’ve been learning in the classroom into practice, as well as introduce you to team-building and problem-solving skills.

As an intern, you will support the work of a mission-driven NGO that takes a critical stance on the current global state of freedom of expression—particularly in the digital space.  You’ll contribute to organizational development, research, and strategic planning, helping the NGO advance its mission to ensure that technological innovation remains accountable to democratic values and human dignity. This is a unique opportunity to engage with big-picture ideas while gaining hands-on experience in nonprofit operations and advocacy.

Remote internship daily life

Your remote internship will be conducted from host organisation’s offices in Palermo, Buenos Aires. You’ll get to undertake some remote work and have the possibility of attending online technology-related events.  

The program is designed to fit around you, under the direction of an English-speaking coordinator and to best take advantage of your owns skills and interests, as well as the skills you’d like to develop further.

A weekly or monthly agenda is agreed depending on your and the NGO needs, and your progress is evaluated at weekly mentoring and coaching sessions.

Here are just some of the things you might find yourself doing:

  • Attending online technology and social development events
  • Research and analysis of reports relating to  technology
  • Communications & Outreach
  • Events and workshop assistance
  • Stakeholder Engagement
  • Communications assistance
  • Monitoring & Evaluation
  • Administrative & Strategic Support

If you’d like to know more about areas of work on this technology and cybercrime internship, here are some examples of projects that are either ongoing or have been completed recently within the organization:

  • Artificial Intelligence. We explore how AI is shaping societies—especially in terms of governance, surveillance, and digital rights. Our research critically examines how emerging technologies can both enable and restrict freedoms, particularly in contexts where algorithmic systems affect public discourse and civil liberties. Interns will engage with case studies, policy analysis, and multilateral discussions around the ethical development and deployment of AI.
  • Religious Freedom and Freedom of Speech. We advocate for the protection of freedom of belief and expression as foundational human rights. Our work critiques how governments and tech platforms regulate religious speech and dissenting voices, and we examine global trends that may threaten these freedoms. Interns contribute to research that analyzes censorship, blasphemy laws, and digital persecution in various regions.
  • Global Digital and UN Governance: We actively follow and engage in the ongoing international debates around the United Nations’ Global Digital Compact and broader digital governance frameworks. Our work emphasizes monitoring how digital rights, accountability, and power structures are being shaped in these discussions. Interns contribute by tracking developments, analyzing policy proposals, and participating in global online consultations with a focus on ensuring inclusive and rights-based outcomes.
  • Digital Currencies: We examine the geopolitical and societal implications of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and other forms of state-backed or private digital money. Our research critically assesses how these technologies may affect privacy, financial autonomy, and global economic power dynamics. Interns will analyze developments in digital currency governance and contribute to discussions around financial freedom, surveillance, and inequality.
