The Miracle Foundation brings life-changing care to the world’s orphans. We’ve created a measurable, repeatable and systematic method to ensure that orphans are educated, fed, loved and safe. Our interns gain valuable experience learning how to run an effective and efficient international nonprofit–and make a real difference for vulnerable children around the world!
Fall 2017 Intern responsibilities vary, and are generally in one of the following areas: Office Administration, Process Documentation, Development, Programs, and Finance. We do our best to find projects that suit your interests and develop your expertise.
