Opportunities: Internship, volunteer, financial aid
Ahlan World offers multiple opportunities for students who are interested in learning Arabic to come with us to learn the Arabic language. Ahlan World offers different types of programs to suit your needs. You can come and attend classes, do an internship at our school or even volunteer to help the poorest part of the population. Choose the opportunity that best suits your needs and comes and meet us.
Internships abroad
Ahlan World is pleased to offer a full-time internship program at our language centers. Each center has its own approach to the program, but interns usually assist school staff with various aspects of administration and programming, learning about how a language school operates and teaching foreign languages along the way.
The internship requires interns to work 30 hours per week. In exchange for the work done, interns will be offered a free accommodation in the country, a transfer from the airport upon arrival, a meal during working hours and a 20% discount for any Arabic course.
Ahlan’s world offers multiple opportunities but prefers that interns stay a minimum of four months to fully immerse themselves in Ahlan’s experience and acquire meaningful skills in the process. Interns who wish to stay less than four months are welcome to apply but will not be provided accommodation in such cases.
For more details about the internship read the Proposal for internships document. To apply for an internship, please contact us directly. We hope you will join us!
Financial aid
Traveling to the Arab world to study Arabic can be an expensive endeavor and Ahlan World is aware that not everyone has the budget required. We are pleased to offer scholarships through many partner universities. Please contact ahlan@ahlan-world.org directly to check if your department is included or to suggest that a partnership with your university be developed.
Ahlan World also partners with language learning agencies that receive 10-20% discounts on school fees.
One of the best options however is to arrange for an exchange between the student and Ahlan World. We will teach you Arabic and you can share one of your skills with us! Our internship program is a great opportunity for an exchange (see our internship page for more), although we are also open to any and all suggestions of ways you might be able to benefit our school. In the past, we’ve had students who teach their own language, translate documents, conduct events, etc. We even had a magician who put on a show for us
Volunteering program
We are preparing our volunteer program so that you can help us to help the poorest people in the country. As soon as we have all the necessary information we will put it on our website.
More info coming soon!
Civil Service
Ahlan World gives you the chance to carry out your Civil Service (Servizio Civile) in our branches located in Cairo, Alexandria of Egypt, Amman and Rabat.
Our offer changes depending on the destination you choose. If you are interested in administration and management, Jordan and Morocco will be the best options for you. Conversely, if you are interested in teaching and fostering Italian language and culture, Egypt is waiting for you.
