SCOOP Recruit - Board & Interns
Being a small organisation with big ideas and goals, we rely heavily on volunteers and long term interns. But because we are small, we can offer you the chance to join our hands one Board, offer interns the opportunity to manage their own campaign, or run their own event, and to work closely with the executive team / founders, and be a part of a growing NGO breaking the mould.
For Board roles and specs, see below. For interns;
We run 3 different type of internships:
- Events & Campaign Internships – help run one large event (such as an auction or Christmas dinner) or a number of smaller ones (like quizzes and club nights) or be an integral part of one of our existing or new campaigns, such as Syrias Vibes, Yemenade, The SCOOP Crew etc
- Programmes & Partnerships - such as our iT Programme, scheduled Art Tour, SCOOP Recruit, SCOOP Mentors, Generation Change, Gen Talks etc.
- Communications & marketing internships – Social media mgmt; help us engage our existing supporters and to find new ones; to help us promote events and fundraisers
Besides being part of a life changing event or campaign, you will gain much needed experience working in a small but ambitious organisation, perfect for anyone’s CV. You can also work remotely, as most of us to, so the internship can easily fit in around your current college or work set up.
