StoryCorps Development Intern

The Development Intern is an integral part of the Development department of StoryCorps and its parent company, Sound Portraits Productions, Inc.

 

Projects may include, but will not be limited to:

• Facilitate mail and email correspondence with StoryCorps participants.
• Track donations in donor database and generate acknowledgment letters in a timely manner.
• Assist with brainstorming, planning, and implementation of direct mail and email fundraising efforts.
• Serve as press contact to other StoryCorps employees, stocking and updating StoryCorps press packets and updating press files and database.
• General departmental support and packaging of various grant proposals and reports as needed.

 

At the end of the experience, the intern should have a good idea of many of the working aspects of the Development and Communications functions in a dynamic, mid-sized non-profit. The intern will have experience in an inspirational working environment where the benefit of his or her work will be apparent daily.

As StoryCorps continues to grow and change we are looking for interns who are interested in teamwork, and who are motivated to contribute to the direction of the project. Strong writing, interpersonal skills, and attention to detail are required. Experience with Microsoft Excel and FileMaker Pro is a plus.
