InsideNGO Internship Program

Current Opportunities

InsideNGO is currently recruiting for 1 intern in the Human Resources Program area and 1 intern in the Legal Program area for the 2010/2011 academic year. Please see below for specific internship program details.

Organizational Overview

InsideNGO is a membership association for operations staff from international relief and development organizations.

• Finance
• Grants & Contracts
• Human Resources
• Legal
• Information Technology

Internship Program Goals

1. To utilize the intern’s talents, skills, and knowledge to advance InsideNGO’s service to its membership;
2. To provide the intern with experience in international non-profit operations.
   

The Internship

Occasionally we have an opening for one or more interns to support our work through industry research and compilation of information that can be turned into tools, guides, templates and articles and distributed in accessible formats. Though interns provide some clerical program support, the majority of time is dedicated to projects that benefit our members and the NGO community.

Interns report to a program area director (Finance, Grants & Contracts, Human Resources, Information Technology, Legal) who will provide professional oversight and mentorship, and prepare a written assessment at the conclusion of the internship if one is required by the intern. Internships in a specific program area are available depending on the needs of that program area.
