Interns on a nonprofit internship in the UK

Typical roles for UK NGO internships

Here are a few examples of roles that our NGO interns in the United Kingdom have taken on before:

  • Social Media

    Just like for-profit companies, many of today’s nonprofit organizations rely heavily on social media for outreach. Many internships in NGOs in the United Kingdom, therefore, include tasks such as social media calendar creation and management, post creation, and analysis. Social media interns frequently collaborate on fundraising and events projects, working closely with professionals from a variety of backgrounds.

  • Fundraising

    Fundraising is one of the most central elements of most nonprofit organizations. Fundraising interns learn industry best practices and may take part in annual fundraising campaigns and events. Whether you see a long-term career in the NGO field or elsewhere, fundraising and communications skills are incredibly valuable.

  • Events

    Event planning is an exciting field that keeps NGO professionals on their toes. Interns may take part in planning for large annual events such as fundraisers, or smaller private events for donors, volunteers, and partners. Event planning requires a great deal of organization and attention to detail, and interns gain experience in navigating the logistics of these occasions.

  • Research

    Research skills developed during an internship with a nonprofit organization are invaluable. From market research to finances and current events, interns gain experience fact-checking, analyzing, and preparing reports.
