At makesense, we’re never alone.
Our work with global communities has proved that collective action is key to unlocking creativity and resiliency. We envision a platform where anyone with a love for social innovation can band together to build, mobilize, and create real impact – wherever they are! We’re also committed to sharing our tools, resources, and the expertise of our network to empower the youth of today in building essential skills to take on tomorrow’s challenges.
Introducing the Makesense Micro-Internship Program, a 1-month engagement designed to help you build real life experience while you contribute for social good! Work alongside the leads of the different departments of makesense as either a Sensebooster, Sensereporter, or Senseinnovator. After the 1-month engagement, you will receive a Certificate of Micro-Internship and will have gained relevant skills as a content creator, event organizer, or innovation professional.
This is a part-time engagement that you can do in 5 hours a week – all from home.

“One of the really cool things I get to do is work towards specific causes that we personally care about. In my case, that’s animal welfare, tech startups, and of course – mental health. The results worldwide from our proven design thinking methodology are remarkable. All these projects I got to do in less than 6 months. I’m here to tell you that the effort in our campaigns are 80% done online – from training, planning, until execution, that’s in person. Crazy, right? But totally doable.”
KL, writer, speaker, co-founder, and Makesense Manila ambassador
This is currently a non-paid position. If you are seeking a paid internship position, please be directed to our Careers Section.
There aren’t any strict hours we’ll ask you to render, but expect around 5 hours each week spent for online correspondence such as our monthly Zoom call, Facebook/Whatsapp messages, and of course, doing whatever you signed up to do in the program!
100%! Everything will be done online.
Of course! We’d love to have you stick around for as long as we can 🙂 We’ve designed this program for a minimum 1-month engagement, but interns can extend up to 3 months and 5 months if they wish, and they will also receive the respective rewards after completing each tier.
If you choose to extend beyond 1 month, you will receive, other than your Certificate of Micro-Internship and newfound skills from your department of choice: 1) a Recommendations Note from the makesense leads for a 3-month engagement, and 3) a Recommendation Letter from our Asia Community Developer or Director for a 5-month engagement. Of course, all this and with continued access to our workshops, exclusive trainings, and our global network.
