Why intern with us
Real work, not busywork
GuruJal (Abhipsa Foundation) is Gurugram's leading water conservation and eco-restoration organisation. We work across pond rejuvenation, native reforestation, school water programmes, and ESG advisory across 3 states-UT — Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Delhi. Our internships are built around real work: you will not be filing papers or watching. You will be in schools, restoration sites, communities, and content studios.
What makes a GuruJal internship different
Every intern works on a project that is active and accountable. Your deliverables are real — a campaign that runs, a report that goes to a funder, a programme that reaches students. You leave with a portfolio, not just a certificate.
Open Positions
Seven internship tracks, currently open
Each internship runs 1–4 months and carries a GuruJal Certificate of Internship. We accept applications year-round; selection depends on availability of the role. Internships shorter than 2 months are unpaid — 3 months or more becomes a paid internship.
