Internship Pilot 3
The first half of 2022 with AIESEC Mongolia, Friends of Mongolia and AMSA — three tracks by interest: Bfit, internship and social media.
About the program
The third six-month trial, in the first half of 2022, was the first run with partners: AIESEC Mongolia, Friends of Mongolia and AMSA, the Asian Medical Students' Association. Interns from many fields split by interest into three teams — Bfit, Internship and Social Media — and learned social-media development on YOUTHinc's own channels, wrote blogs, ran knowledge-sharing sessions and visited organisations.
Three team coordinators — Nomuuna, Oyundari, Khulan and Uranchimeg — carried the cohort, and the Social Media team produced the programme's video and the April–June newsletter compilation. Graduation was celebrated online in July 2022.
The Bfit track
Bfit — BHealthy, BStrong, BYou — is YOUTHinc's health-and-wellness strand for personal development, first piloted in Mongolia in 2016. In Pilot 3 it became the first track aimed at pre-university students.

In participants' words
I have been studying as a scholarship student of Friends of Mongolia NGO since my 3rd year. Thanks to the generous people of this organization, I had the opportunity to participate in the YOUTHinc Internship program. This program helped me learn many things, such as learning from others (as an intern, I shared my interests and knowledge with others) and the role of a team leader (I learned a lot from Nomuunaa, who led our team), how to bring members together as one. I am sure that all this will be a lesson and experience for my future life.
Working as an intern at Youthinc has been an amazing journey where I can gain many new experiences, knowledge and skills. The days of working together and exchanging ideas with my peers were interesting and I learned a lot, and I will continue to learn. This program opened up that opportunity for me, which is not always possible for those of us who study medicine. I am 100% sure that the practical experience gained here will be useful when I go to the workplace in the future. Thank you YOUthinc for opening opportunities and supporting us young people.
As part of the cooperation between the sponsoring organization and YOUTHinc, scholarship students were included, and I thought I would participate in the program because I had not participated in the internship program before. I learned useful things by editing videos using mobile applications, preparing posters on Canva, reading information prepared by other interns, and also gained an understanding of the internship program and slightly improved my soft skills.
My internship at YOUTHinc has been a crucial step in my development of becoming a more skilled individual. When I started, I had absolutely no experience working on social media. In the time I was there, I had learned skills such as making posters for social media, writing a newsletter on Mailchimp, photo design and social media optimization. Aside from the technical skills, working with Baljaa so closely has allowed me to see the world through her eyes. She has introduced me to living a healthier lifestyle and becoming a more efficient worker. Overall, I’m glad I had the opportunity to work with such amazing people, and I thank them for teaching me not only work-related skills, but also personal skills that helped me land a current job position.
YOUTHinc-д дадлагажигчаар ажиллах нь маш олон зүйлсийг сурч мэдэх ,хийж бүтээх боломжийг олгож өгдөг. Мөн цаашлаад энэ хөтөлбөр нь оюутан залуучуудыг дэмжиж буй бодит туслалцаа гэж харж байна. Өөр өөр чиглэлийн хүмүүстэй баг болон уялдаа холбоо бүхий зүйлсийг хийж нэгдмэл ажиллах нь хамгийн сонирхолтой санагдсан. Өөрийн хийдэг байсан хэвшмэл зүйлээс өөр үүрэг даалгаврыг гүйцэтгэх нь сорилт байсан хэдий ч YOUTHinc-ын найрсаг хамт олны тусламж, заавар зөвлөгөөтэй хийх нь саадгүй санагдаж байсан.
I first learned about YOUTHinc from the Youthspeak Forum organized by AIESEC Mongolia. YOUTHinc organization's activities were connected with our project, so we got interested in this program and started working. I understood the most that running away from a problem is not the right solution. If you have any problems, you need to ask and talk. For example, leading a team is not easy. The leaders of others teams probably know it. I was not a good team leader. I understood that I needed to openly discuss my problems with the person guiding me.
