What Intern will do?
Advocate:
Our grassroots volunteers make sure their voices are heard by their elected officials. We know the most impactful ways to convince elected officials to take action against extreme poverty is by writing letters, using social media, making phone calls, and meeting with them in their offices. Have your elected officials heard your voice about ending extreme poverty in Haiti yet?
Organize
Our volunteer teams build grassroots support by using social media, hosting meet-ups, canvassing big events, talking to community groups, and recruiting neighbors to take action to end poverty in Haiti. Will you do your internship in helping others use their voice?
Lead
We continuously train and empower our grassroots activists with issue and skill-based training that prepares them to influence decision makers. We give you the resources to translate your passion into action. Are you ready to lead a team of like-minded poverty fighters by blogging, social media and doing research on poverty alleviation in rural Haiti?
