If you want to study GK and contribute to its growth, you can join the GK Global Research and Internship Program (GK GRIP) which works closely with higher education institutions to mobilize university and graduate students in making a difference for GK communities through research and internship.
Participating students, with consent of their university advisers, apply academic concepts in GK communities and develop research materials and projects that will be used to improve the quality of life for people in need.
Participation in the program can take two forms: internship and research. The output of GK GRIP participants in both areas will be used by Gawad Kalinga to improve its existing programs in various GK communities, as well as incubate and eventually implement promising new projects. These projects address a variety of topics related to poverty eradication such as urban planning, education, environmental and health sustainability and social entrepreneurship.
Students are encouraged to work within the framework of these topics while adapting their approach to the diverse needs of people in different communities. The result is a program that is global in scope and purpose, with the flexibility and responsiveness that is community-based.
- Interested participants must be currently enrolled in an undergraduate degree or in a full-time graduate study program (Masters and PhD).
- The program seeks candidates who are undertaking courses related to GK’s 7 programs and related fields.
- Fluency in English is required.
- For inquiries and applications, Please contact us at: gkcip2024@gmail.com.
