Description:

Development Intern

The Partnership for the Homeless has an exciting development/fundraising internship position which will utilize a wide array of skills and knowledge to work with a dynamic development team lead by the Vice President of Development. This is an excellent opportunity to learn development and marketing skills from professionals in the social justice field.

The Partnership is relying on an innovative model that is grounded in the belief that housing is a human right and that ending homelessness is fundamentally an issue of social justice. Preventing and, therefore, ending homelessness will depend in large measure on addressing inter-generational poverty and working towards prosperity and well-being for all people. Our model combines a unique blend of research and advocacy with our twenty-six years of direct service experience of assisting families and individuals.

Interns will be involved primarily in:
• Conducting prospect research on individual, foundation, and corporate donors.
• Assisting the organization with social media/marketing initiatives.
•
Other assignments may include:
• Writing initial letters of inquiry and proposals, as needed.
• Updating the database.
• Assisting the organization with planning and executing special events.
• Other projects as needed.

Interns should have:
• Excellent writing skills, BA in English (or current English majors) preferred.
• Knowledge of social media and good technical computer skills.
• Interest in the issues of poverty and social justice.
• Ability to manage multiple projects.

This is an unpaid internship and we are looking for a commitment of at least six months and the ability the work 3 days per week. We are hoping to fill this internship immediately, though students graduating in May 2012 who are available to work 2 days per week now and then 3 days per week after graduation are encouraged to apply.

Partnership for the Home

Since its founding nearly three decades ago, the Partnership for the Homeless has been rooted in the fundamental belief that homelessness is an unacceptable part of our urban landscape; that as a city and a nation we can prevent and ultimately end homelessness. We believe that, together, the public and private sectors must focus our efforts on long-term solutions that address the personal and structural issues that ensnare so many. We believe these efforts must be grounded in evidence of what works based on strong quantitative and qualitative data as a means of developing scalable best practice models for preventing homelessness. To this end, the Partnership today is one-part service provider and two parts a learning and advocacy organization. Our programs work with approximately 6,500 individuals and families annually who are homeless or at-risk; we deliver coordinated assistance that touches on multiple aspects of their lives, addressing both immediate needs and long-term efforts to achieve well-being and prosperity. Our research arm uses rigorous methods to evaluate the effectiveness of our programs and to launch investigations that explore the drivers of homelessness. We then work to transform what we learn into action through advocacy campaigns that seek to change policies and practices, as well as funding decisions, relying on solutions that are demonstrated to be both workable and cost-effective.
