Events and Fundraising Intern 2018

Access to Success Positions – 2018

The Role of Interns

We are dedicated to creating pathways for new opportunities while improving the surrounding community of our program participants. We are looking for qualified candidates for various internship positions that have a strong interest in child and community development. A2S is looking for independently driven, but team-oriented individuals who are able to be proactive without direct supervision and with the ability to manage multiple tasks well.

A2S internships are primarily unpaid positions but we offer a stipend of $500 per semester as long as intern meets his/her time requirements. If your school provides internship credit, we are happy to provide assistance securing it. While start and end dates are negotiable for these internships, A2S is especially interested in candidates who are able to work with our foundation for several months (semester minimum, a year ideally) and those who are willing to work independently with direction as needed (after being trained on the A2S organizational structure).

We want someone who is: fun, flexible, creative, a self-starter, and a team player!

Internship Opportunities – send resumes & a brief cover letter stating your background and interest in A2S info@a2sfoundation.org to apply.

Application Deadlines: Spring Internship – February 2, Summer Internship – March 15 (if interested in traveling on A2S summer mission trip) or by April 15
