Intern or volunteer to make a real difference

TCF Social Internship Programme

TCF Social Internship Programme is a distinctive experiential internship for students from Pakistan’s leading universities. Students from a rich variety of academic disciplines are eligible to participate in their summer break as well as year round developmental initiatives of TCF based in our offices in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad.
This internship provides students with a grass-root level exposure to the on-ground realities of challenged areas of Pakistan while bringing new perspectives to individual realm of thought. In hindsight, these internships have been enriching and have helped most interns gain a more empathetic and comprehensive view of the broader society that we reside in.

TCF Social Internship Programme has the following three Programmes:

Alumni Development Programme

Alumni Development Programme is an on-field teaching initiative launched in 2015. It has been designed to help TCF alumni secure admissions in the best universities in Pakistan.

University students, as volunteers, are expected to prepare TCF alumni for more stringent scholastic requirements. There are three levels to this program. The Foundation Level classes which are held at selected TCF secondary schools every summer, engage TCF students right after their Grade 10 exams. Whereas, Level I and II classes are conducted with TCF alumni enrolled in intermediate, on premises of the universities that have partnered with TCF for this programme.

Office Internships

Office Internships offer a chance to create an impact through various TCF projects. They also allow the organization to increase its capacity and meet the challenges of its growing network. Opportunities are available throughout the year in our offices in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad.

TCF Summer Camp

If you are a young, energetic, determined and proactive person who enjoys volunteering and has some experience in dealing with children, then you should not miss an unforgettable summer at the Citizens Foundation Summer Camp in Pakistan.

TCF Summer Camp is an on-field non-teaching Programme based on extra-curricular activities. Launched in 2003, it is held during the summer holidays at selective school locations across Pakistan. It aims to enhance the knowledge and social skills of third, fourth and fifth grade students by engaging them in Game-based learning.

In just fourteen days, enthusiastic volunteers between the ages of 15 to 23 spend two weeks with our students. They interact with them to expand their vocabulary, enhance their creative skills through arts and crafts, help them to dramatize and perform stories using simple props and group together to play games. Volunteers will form a well-rounded perspective of Summer Camp and have amazing experience by working closely with the TCF community.

TCF Volunteering Programmes

TCF is committed to providing each volunteer with a rewarding and productive experience. We offer well-structured volunteer programmes along with all necessary orientation and training. The objective is to offer meaningful volunteer experience to individuals who want to make a real difference in the lives of the less-privileged children of Pakistan.
Here are the two volunteering programmes we offer:

TCF Rahbar – Youth Mentorship Programme

The Rahbar Programme is a Youth Mentorship Programme initiated in 2008 for eighth and ninth grade TCF students. Volunteers from different walks of life gather with the motive of mentoring these young individuals to become responsible and productive members of society. The programme runs for six consecutive Saturdays at selected TCF Schools across Pakistan. The key feature of this programme is the ‘Soch se Taqdeer (Thought to Destiny)’ outlook which serves as the guiding principle to inspire young minds to think of themselves as creators of their own destiny.

Rahbar is unique, as it provides a genuine sense of hope not only to the students but to their mentors as well. Trusted bonds are developed that help students discover their inner strengths and capacities and encourage them to achieve their full potential in life.

Rahbar has created bonds between…
