Intern with Small Planet

2013-2014 Internships

The Small Planet Institute seeks dynamic interns for the summer of 2013, as well as the 2013 - 2014 school year. This is a unique opportunity to work directly with Frances Moore Lappé in a small organization doing groundbreaking work on hunger, poverty, food sustainability, and living democracy.

General duties may involve:

• Administrative and communications assistance, such as database management, correspondence, and website updates;
• Research assistance, including fact checking, citation management, and research for articles, blogs and publications;
• Assistance with academic and partner outreach campaigns; and
• Social networking activities (i.e. Facebook, Twitter, and blogging).

Also, depending on the skill set of the chosen intern, s/he will manage one of the following special projects:

• AdWords
• Enhancement of our aesthetic/graphic design
• Promotion of Frances' books through academic outreach
• Website (Drupal) editing

The ideal candidates have excellent verbal and written communication skills and are either superb researchers or tech savvy (or both!). A passion for social democratic movements and the mission of the Small Planet Institute is required.

Internships can begin at the beginning of summer and in September. Scheduling is flexible, with a minimum requirement of 15 hours per week in our Cambridge office.

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Click here to apply.
