Paid WCPI Communications/Development Internship Program (Summer 2022)

The Communications/Development intern plays a key role in helping expand our outreach and fundraising initiatives. The intern will work closely with the staff to implement the organization’s communications and development plans.





Qualifications

Successful interns will have their finger on the pulse of social media and digital outreach and a genuine interest in development/fundraising work. Previous experience in graphic design, social media planning, website maintenance, and/or video editing is strongly preferred. They will have excellent oral and written communication skills; a great sense of humor is a plus. 

This paid internship is open to current undergraduate students of all disciplines/majors, and those who have graduated within the past 6 months. Interns are expected to work 30-40 hours per week, Monday through Friday; accommodations can be made for students’ class schedules.

Students currently enrolled in a graduate program are strongly encouraged to apply instead to our fellowship program. Please see the fellowship page for more information.
