Would you like to learn about the power of active nonviolence and the global diverse movement currently taking shape while engaging in virtual event preparation, social media outreach, and nonprofit management?
As Nonviolence International’s staff is small, interns play an integral role in NVI’s projects and functioning as a cohesive organization. While interns work closely with NVI staff members and volunteers, they are also expected to exhibit independence, creativity, and initiative. With guidance from staff, each intern will split their time between programmatic support, organizational outreach, and administrative tasks. Interns will also have the opportunity to invest significant time and work within their preferred projects of choice.
As nonviolent activists committed to social justice, we believe that drivers of violent conflict disproportionately hurt the most marginalized people in society. We believe that these communities must be centered in the work we do. Hence, we strongly encourage applications from people who are members of marginalized communities.
We are not currently accepting applications. Please check back later.
Internships are available at our organization for students and non-students and can be arranged for-credit with colleges and universities. These are unpaid internships. Interns must be able to dedicate at least 20-30 hours per week in Summer and 15-20 during the Fall. If interested, an intern may, with mutual agreement, continue their internship through Spring 2023. Our internship will be completely remote.
In terms of qualifications, we understand that an applicant's talents, personal qualities, and experiences go far beyond a static, one-page resume. Thus, we welcome everyone interested in our internship program to apply, regardless of your educational background, professional experience, skills, and accomplishments. However, that is not to say such objective qualifications will not be considered or boost an applicant’s candidacy. We here at Nonviolence International think it is important to take a holistic approach to candidate’s applications which includes their passions and interests.
