Internships in NGOs in the USA
Here are just a few example roles our NGO interns have taken on before:
Fundraising
Fundraising is an essential part of how many nonprofits operate. Internships in NGOs in the USA frequently involve fundraising in some regard, whether that be organizing an online campaign or applying for grants. Interns develop a variety of key skills that can be applied across the nonprofit sector and other industries.
Social Media
Social media is an excellent way to spread an organization’s message. Interns may pitch and draft posts for a variety of platforms, and assist in developing a social media strategy. Collaboration with other teams including those organizing events and fundraisers is key.
Content Creation
One of the most rewarding aspects of doing an internship is creating a portfolio of work samples. Interns at NGOs may gain experience writing press releases, newsletters, articles, website content, and more.
Event Planning
Events are an exciting area for NGO interns to learn about. From fundraising events to those held live on social media, interns will learn about the event planning process from start to finish. The skills developed in these placements can be applied to many industries and roles, including budget-writing, partnership management, and project management.
The industry
The field of marketing is constantly evolving, and almost never looks the same year to year. The top marketing professionals are ready to roll with the punches – whether that means learning to interact with users on a new social media, or helping their clients adjust to changes in search engine algorithms. Marketing strategies and best practices may look different depending on where in the world a target audience is located, which is part of what makes it such a dynamic and diverse career path.
