We are seeking a Development Intern for 3+ months. We are looking for an ambitious self-starter to aid in donor reporting, to help strengthen our external communications and to research and respond to funding opportunities.
This is also an opportunity for professional business development as you will participate in the weekly Bridge Programme, a 12-month online training on how to use digital tools to effectively engage during COVID-19. While we prefer an in-country intern, in light of COVID-19 restrictions, we are open to accommodating a remote intern.

● Generate weekly content for our social media platforms that highlights various programming and activities, maintain AdvocAid’s website, create newsletters for supporters, and write press releases
● Participate 2hrs/week in the BRIDGE training programme and incorporate relevant learning in communications
