The Miracle Foundation is an Austin nonprofit organization dedicated to helping orphans realize their full potential. Our charity is unique in that our interventions are measurable, scalable, guard against corruption and focus on the needs of the whole child. We literally transform institutional orphanages into stable, loving, nurturing homes where children can thrive.
The Miracle Foundation offers unpaid internships — both formal and informal — as an introduction to the day-to-day operations of a nonprofit. Duties will vary depending on our current workload, but we generally have internship opportunities in at least one of the following areas: development, events, finance, marketing, sponsorship, or travel.
