Princeton in Africa (PiAf) is an independent nonprofit organization that helps future leaders develop lifelong connections to the people and nations of Africa. We offer highly selective yearlong fellowships to recent college graduates with organizations across the African continent; we enable our Fellows, through their work, to make significant contributions to Africa’s well-being; and we encourage our Fellows to cultivate meaningful relationships with communities in Africa and with one another. Interns will have the opportunity learn about the work of our Fellows and our host organization while playing a key role on our 5 person team.
