Córdoba Acoge is a pro-immigrant activist organization that offers many services to those arriving in the city of Córdoba in the south of Spain. These services range from language teaching to helping provide food, clothing and shelter. One of the areas of greatest focus is offering legal advice and services to immigrants (who must comply with a rather rigorous and confusing series of immigration laws).
Córdoba Acoge (which literally means, Córdoba “welcomes”) has worked with various universities (primarily from Spain) in offering internships that help students train in social services.

Please note: this internship is not connected to the Córdoba Program (PRESHCO) through Wellesley’s Spanish Department.
Desired Qualifications
Interest in immigration and social services, strong interpersonal skills, detail orientation. Advanced Spanish skills are fundamental.
