Join our team for this six-month to one year internship and get real, hands-on marketing experience at an international nonprofit.

Our interns make real contributions to the team, shoulder significant responsibility, and are expected to bring new ideas to the table. We are looking for dreamers and doers who want to add value immediately and take on challenges along with us.

As a marketing and communications intern you will have the chance to explore, learn, and create both independently and as part of a team.

We want to put you in an environment where you are able to create and work on projects you can be proud of.
