Youth Safeguarding & Autonomy Intern

About the role

Ashoka is seeking a thoughtful and proactive intern to support our Youth Safeguarding team. This role sits at the intersection of safety, youth agency, and systems change. You will help strengthen how organizations create environments where young people are both supported and trusted to lead. This is an opportunity to contribute to a growing field that is rethinking what "safe" means in youth-serving spaces. Rather than defaulting to control and restriction, our work centers trust, autonomy, and shared responsibility.
