OUR MISSION:
Family Reach is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to removing the financial barriers standing between cancer patients and their treatment — such as loss of income, increased out-of-pocket expenses, and socioeconomic factors. When faced with these financial barriers, families have to make impossible decisions like choosing between paying for treatment or basic essentials like housing, food, and transportation. No family should have to choose between their health and their home — and we won’t stop until that’s the reality.

 

INTERNSHIP OVERVIEW:

Family Reach is seeking an unpaid intern to join our team this summer. This is a great opportunity for someone who is looking to gain experience in nonprofit organization management or looking to earn course credits.

The Development Intern will support the Development team’s efforts to increase and expand fundraising opportunities, with an emphasis on supporting and growing the monthly donor program, researching and identifying prospects, and drafting content and organizing donor records.

The ideal candidate is eager to learn, has a passion for giving back, and enjoys working collaboratively. Organization and communication skills are a plus but can be taught. It is well suited for an individual who enjoys research and communication, as well as working in a mission-driven environment.

The intern will work 15-20 hours per week starting end of May 2024 to mid-August 2024, but the start and end dates can be flexible to accommodate an academic calendar.
