Summer Intern (multiple positions)

Overview

Network for Good is hiring 3 summer interns: Nonprofit Research Specialist, Nonprofit Grants Data Analyst, and Strategic Inititiatives Analyst

Internship Program Design:
Our goal with our internship program is to provide a true hands-on experience. Interns are exposed to the operations of our business, will assist with special projects, and will participate in a variety of assignments and tasks aimed at fulfilling the internship program objectives. Each intern will be assigned a mentor to be their guide throughout the duration of the program and will be given real work projects and workstreams. In addition, you will have the opportunity to sit in on meetings and present your work at key milestone stages throughout your projects. This is a temporary, remote role. We are open to both full- and part-time intern candidates, dependent on experience. The internship program will run for 10-12 weeks, with start and end date flexible per varying academic calendars. We will consider both undergraduate and graduate candidates for each of these positions, with plans to adjust the specific duties and hourly compensation based on experience. We’ll begin reviewing applications immediately, but will accept applications on a rolling basis. Applications received before May 8th will be given priority review.
