Nonprofit Leadership Programme

Overview

The Borgen Project is an international organisation that works at the political level to improve living conditions for people impacted by war, famine and poverty. The organization advocates for poverty to be a focus of foreign policy and has 20 years of experience in the advocacy space.

The Nonprofit Leadership Programme is a part-time, 12-hours-per-week, 12-week, unpaid remote programme. If your availability is limited, you can work ahead and complete the programme in fewer weeks.

• Advocacy Leadership Development — Meet with members of Government in your District/Constituency; represent The Borgen Project at various business, political and community events; mobilise individuals to contact their members of Government in support of key poverty-reduction legislation.
• Fundraising Development — Learn how to fundraise. Create a personal fundraising campaign and meet targets.
• Recruitment — Update job postings; inform groups and classes of openings, introduction to recruitment platforms and listen in to interviews.
• Marketing and Promotion — Pitch story ideas to print, broadcast and digital media and utilise social media and develop strategies for web-based messaging.

No prior experience is necessary; we’re looking for people who are passionate about fighting poverty and righting wrongs, regardless of your GPAs/background.

This is an unpaid internship, although college credit is available.

New programmes begin every month; you choose the month you wish to start.
