Rotational Non-Profit Management Internship

Through this internship, you will receive robust training in a diverse range of WRI operations duties, including project financial management, grant, and sub-agreement management, development and fundraising, finance and accounting, and human resources. Operations teams create the infrastructure that facilitates the success of WRI's mission and are foundational to WRI being able to achieve impact.

During the first three weeks, you will participate in a rotational training curriculum involving in-depth seminars, guided learning modules, and assignments that will provide in-depth insight into the topics and responsibilities encompassing non-profit management. 

For the remaining duration of your internship, you will work directly with a WRI program or center, in alignment with your interests, to shadow experienced operations staff and support the completion of typical Project Coordinator assignments that will allow you to apply your knowledge of WRI’s systems and processes in real-life scenarios. During your direct placement with a team, you will work on programmatic deliverables, provide ongoing operations support and manage other special projects. Examples of potential projects include completing a Project Management for Development Professionals (PMD Pro) training & certification, compiling funder financial reports, designing a strategy to integrate project operations and communications, and forecasting your team’s quarterly budget. By the end of the internship, you will be equipped with diverse skills and applied knowledge in non-profit management, financial management, development, and operations.
