REAP Internships - Learning to Give Back

Interning at REAP

REAP offers internships to highly qualified Stanford students as well as students from other institutions who seek to make a difference in the world through action research. REAP internships give students an opportunity to step outside the classroom into rural China to learn about the educational barriers poor children face as they struggle to escape poverty and contribute to China’s developing economy.

They will work directly with Stanford faculty and REAP Project Managers to contribute to policy-relevant research aimed at solving global development problems.
