Since our founding on Mother’s Day in 2000, the Miracle Foundation has taken a stand for orphaned children. Our “Child First” approach is multi-faceted, collaborative and community-based:
- 80% of children living in institutions have a living relative. We make every effort to reunite these children with their birth family, if possible.
- For abandoned children without family — our measurable, systematic method ensures that children are loved, educated, healthy and safe until they transition to a permanent family.
- We actively collaborate with governments, other non-profits and local family-strengthening organizations to transform systems and give children a voice.
Our interns gain an inside opportunity to learn how to run a nonprofit that makes an impact for the world’s orphaned children.
Responsibilities vary, but are generally in one of the following areas: Office Administration, Development, and Programs. We do our best to find work that suits your interests and develops your expertise.
- Our Office Administration Intern will work with our Systems Manager to complete various administrative tasks, create process documents, track departmental progress, and more.
- Our Development Intern will work with our Development Coordinator to plan events, analyze fundraising data, develop fundraising campaigns, research funding prospects, and more.
- Our Programs Intern will work with our Director of Global Programs and Program Coordinator to input and analyze data, create and improve programs, and more.
Requirements: We offer both formal (for class credit) and informal internships. Interns are expected to donate at least 10 hours/week of their time and exemplify the following qualities:
- Global perspective, belief in our mission, and a passion for making a difference
- Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written
- High level of computer proficiency, including Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint
