    Kenya Human Rights Commission


    KHRC Internships

    General Information

    It has been over thirteen years since the first internship at the KHRC took place. The Internship programme first carried in 1992 has been a resounding success as attested by the end internship reports submitted by the different National and International Interns that have participated in the Programme. The aim of the internship programme is to contribute to the training of young human rights workers. The programme intends to:
    • Increase the intern’s understanding of current human rights issues at the community, national, regional and international level and give them an insight into the work of the Kenya Human Rights Commission;
    • Provide the KHRC mechanisms and assistants with the assistances and contributions of outstanding young students.
    The relationship between the organization and the intern is one of mutual benefit. Interns are assigned to a project according programme needs and their own areas of interest. They are involved, inter alia in; researching human rights issues, drafting analytical papers and reports, providing substantive and technical servicing of meetings, back-stopping fact-finding missions as well as field operations and supporting other KHRC activities depending on programme needs. As part of the internship programme, the KHRC endeavors to brief interns through a series of information sessions on human rights issues conducted by staff of the office.

    Purpose of Internship

    Each year, we host interns drawn from our six partner communities, universities and other tertiary institutions in Kenya as well as other countries. The interns are generally young people who are still in college or have recently graduated and have the keen interest to learn more about human rights and acquire a practical experience.

    The internship programme enables aspiring human rights activists to master the dynamics in human rights work and acquire relevant experience in the various programs at the Commission - fact-finding, documentation and reporting, human rights education and advocacy. This equips them with adequate knowledge to address human rights concerns and violations in the country.

    Internship recruitment is on a bi-annual basis. The KHRC also welcomes international interns to work during the summer, usually between May – August.

    Guiding Principles

    • Internships offered are in line with KHRC’s programmes and activities;
    • A restricted number of interns would be allowed at the Commission for a specific period of time taking into account considerations of space, availability of mentors and equipment;
    • Interns will be assigned to work with a supervisor who is responsible for providing them with a description of duties and a work plan. Upon completion of the internship, both the supervisor and the intern are required to complete an evaluation questionnaire on his/her assignment which will be submitted to the convener of the internship committee. In addition, every intern is requested to report describing what was achieved during the internship.

    Conditions of Service

    • The contract will be binding to both parties for the duration of the internship;

    CFSK INTERNSHIP
    Internship is the capstone experience that provides students with hands-on, real-world  experience in a work setting. Ideally, internship will enable interns to:
    (a) integrate and use their knowledge and skills from the classroom,
    (b) discover where further competence is needed,
    (c) take steps to gain that competence under educational supervision, and
    (d) become better acquainted with the types of work settings in which such competence can be applied.
    Internship prepares students for a professional career related to the course of study, therefore we always ensure that interns get “hands-on” experiences similar to the experiences of paid professionals at the Organization.
    Interns are expected to exhibit professionalism at all times during the internship experience. This professionalism should be evident in their interactions with clients, co-workers, and supervisors. Interns are expected to apply their knowledge, skills, and abilities in the performance of all duties, to behave ethically, and to follow all rules and policies of CFSK.

    THE ROLE OF CFSK DURING INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
    For internship to be successful, it must be a true collaboration between the CFSK and the learning Institution. Internship is not meant to benefit only the intern. It is also intended to benefit the organization by providing a trained, educated intern who can assist the organization in many ways. We understand that certain time demands will be placed on the organization, particularly the site supervisor, to provide necessary supervision of the intern. Therefore, we strive to limit the demands placed on the organization supervisor.

    CFSK will always do the following:
    • Provide supervision. An on-site supervisor must be available to direct the intern’s activities. This person should be in a position of authority and have relevant experience. The organization's supervisor does not need to interact daily with the intern, but will be available to answer questions and check on the intern frequently. The supervisor will ensure that the intern has daily duties/activities to ensure a 40-hour workweek. Interns are expected to take initiative at the work.
    • Evaluate the intern. Each  supervisor will complete a mid-term and final evaluation of the intern’s performance. The forms will be provided by the intern. The mid-term evaluation, completed at the half-way point of the semester, is not confidential. The intern will complete an identical self-evaluation, and request a meeting with the supervisor to compare the results of these evaluations with the goal of improving the intern’s performance. The final evaluation is confidential and does not need to be shared with the intern (although the site supervisor can do so at his/her discretion). These evaluations help the CFSK internship supervisor to determine the intern’s level of success in the placement.
    • Communicate with the internship supervisor as needed. CFSK supervisors are prepared to contact the internship supervisor on campus by phone, or email with questions, comments, or concerns regarding the internship. 
    APPLICATION
    All Internship applications should be addressed to cfsk@cfsk.org.
    The applicant must indicatete area of interest and intended period to be taken.
