Internships and Vacancies at IYNF

International Young Naturefriends (IYNF) is a youth-led organisation that does not offer internship opportunities or paid vacancies on a regular basis and depends on organisational capacity, project cycles, and available funding. 

When available, internships are open exclusively to applicants based in European Union or European Economic Area (EEA) countries, in line with legal, administrative, and funding requirements. Internship positions are usually linked to specific tasks or time-limited needs and are designed to provide practical insight into the work of a youth organisation. 

Within this framework, internships may offer opportunities to develop skills and experience in areas such as: 

• non-formal education and youth participation, 

• project coordination and international cooperation, 

• communication, outreach, and organisational support, 

• administrative and operational processes in a non-profit context. 

Paid vacancies within IYNF are rare and are announced only when a concrete position becomes available. Such opportunities are published on this page and through IYNF’s official communication channels and partner networks. 

Unsolicited applications and speculative enquiries are not actively encouraged. However, in specific cases, IYNF may consider externally funded internship proposals, such as those supported through Erasmus+ mobility schemes, provided that the proposed internship is clearly aligned with IYNF’s current capacity, needs, and areas of work. Consideration of such proposals does not imply availability or acceptance and remains subject to organisational feasibility.
