Miracle Foundation brings life-changing care to the world’s orphans, starting in India. We focus on strengthening existing institutions and giving purposeful employment to local people in need of work. Together with our supporters, we transform local orphanages into homes, train displaced women to become cherished mothers, and fund scholarships for education. Our goal is to have each orphan become a healthy, happy, income-producing person – and break out of the cycle of poverty.
Our interns and volunteers are essential in helping us run one of the most respected nonprofit organizations in Austin. Responsibilities vary, but are generally in one of the following areas: Office administration, development/events, finance, marketing, process documentation, and programs. We do our best to find work that suits your interests and develops your expertise.

- Global perspective, belief in our mission, and a passion for making a difference
- Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written
