Volunteer & Internship Programs
The Excellence Center in Europe provides volunteer and internship programs in Teaching English, refugee support, media and journalism, and community development in Germany.
These volunteer and internship opportunities are ideal for individuals keen on exploring Europe, immersing themselves in German culture, and making a meaningful contribution by working with refugees and migrants in Halle, Germany.
“I spent 8 weeks at the Excellence Centre in Halle, my second summer doing an “Arabic Intensive Program” . Unlike the academic setting at the University of Wisconsin, Halle was full of life. Arabic came out of the textbooks and into real life—through songs, games, cooking, and even love letters.
We explored history, culture, and the language in a way that made it truly meaningful. Muaz brought Arabic to life, and the experiences in Halle, from trips to museums to visits to Arab restaurants, deeply enriched my learning. The Excellence Centre was not just a place to study Arabic—it became a community, and I’m grateful for everything.” Hannah- Belgium
There is also university credit available for those looking for an internship to fill school requirements. The EC accepts international volunteers all year long, but the Summer is the most popular time to join our family- and for good reason! The EC provides one of the best-rated Summer internships in Europe.
Lovely Town & Wonderful People
“I spent 2 weeks volunteer to learn German and teach English at the Excellence Center in Halle. While the program wasn’t as intensive as expected, I enjoyed the German lessons with Muaz and loved teaching English one-on-one.
The best part was bonding with the volunteers and connecting with Rafat and the staff, which made me feel part of something special. Halle is a beautiful city with great people and culture, and I hope to return one day.” Linda- United States
