Internship at Multicultural Centre Gloria
Note! Starting from autumn 2025, we will only accept internship applications to the following address: harjoittelijahaku@gloriajkl.fi.
Please read the instructions below carefully before applying. Thank you!
******
Multicultural Centre Gloria offers internships for students. Internship at Gloria is suitable for those who are sociable, self-initiative and easily adapt to changing situations. We primarily accept students who are either studying or have experience in, for example, the following fields: guidance (e.g. youth and community counselor, social worker, community pedagogue), teaching, communications, marketing and cultural production. Priority in the selection is given to Gloria volunteers and visitors.
The intern must be able to understand instructions in plain Finnish and also have simple conversations in Finnish. If necessary and possible, we will use other languages to clarify instructions.
Internship at Gloria is only possible from Tuesday to Friday. Internship days are 7,5 hours long and the hours are generally between 9 am and 4:30 pm. We hope that you can also join us on Tuesdays for game and discussion evenings until 6 pm, once a month on Thursdays in the language café until 7:30 pm, and at occasional evening events. To ensure the smooth running of the internship and Gloria’s own operations, we hope that the intern can commit to being in the internship for the agreed time and does not have other overlapping studies.
We mainly offer longer internships at Gloria (e.g. 3 months). We can also take interns for shorter internships (e.g. 3 weeks of language training) if the intern is interested in Gloria’s activities, has special skills that are needed at Gloria, and is active and self-initiative.
In principle, we only take interns for one internship period. For justified reasons and according to Gloria’s needs, we can take the same intern for another internship period.
Basic tasks of the interns:
- maintenance and organization of the space
- kitchen tasks
- preparation of materials used in groups
- reception and guidance of visitors
- assistance/participation in groups
- assistance in event arrangements
- presentation of Gloria’s activities, e.g. at events and on social media
- in addition, possibly other tasks depending on the intern’s special skills, e.g. group management, content production for social media/websites, photography, videography, making advertisements, translations of materials into different languages
Application schedule for autumn 2025:
- The first application period ends on 31 August.
- The second application period ends on 8 October.
- Please apply for the internship at least three weeks before your desired start date.
- We interview applicants during the application period and select an intern as soon as a suitable person is found.
