Thank you for expressing interest in VACorps! While exploring our website, you may not have been aware that the service and support structure of our program is designed for international students with no prior experience in South Africa. These individuals require full-time support as they learn to navigate a new country and culture. With this, given we're a full-service program, we charge a fee of $2550 to our program participants, before cost of living, and can only offer unpaid internships due to strict visa regulations. If you are not interested in joining our program but just want an internship, what we recommend you do is contact companies directly within the greater Cape Town area to ask about their internship opportunities for locals. For instance, the City of Cape Town offers opportunities exclusive to South Africans, not to mention websites such as indeed and JobVine for employment and internship opportunities as well. And lastly, here's another resource you might find to be helpful too: https://www.westerncape.gov.za/yearbeyond. Thank you for your understanding!

My internship not only provided life-changing experience that I will draw on for the rest of my life but it enabled me to actually contribute to the local community; a community that continues to blow me away at its amazing joy in the face of countless obstacles.

Joey Sharp.

My life is forever changed by this beautiful country and the amazing people in VAC who made this experience a possibility. Leaving South Africa now is not goodbye, it’s see you later. One day (hopefully soon) I will be back. Until then, I will forever carry this place in a special spot in my heart.

Courtney Streiker

The past three months spent conquering fears and realizing dreams have changed me in a way that I did not imagine possible.

Erin Berni.

My three months in Cape Town turned my world upside down – in a wonderful way. Between spending my days at my internship and my nights and weekends with my VAC family, I felt as though every moment was packed to the brim with unforgettable memories.

Lauren Blodgett

VAC proved invaluable in helping me maximize my time here, both through exploring Cape Town and in accommodating me to my job and daily needs. If you are looking for an epic, perspective-shifting summer, then I would highly recommend Cape Town and VAC to you.
