ClassWish is recruiting outstanding undergraduate and graduate students as interns for the current school year and for the summer to collaborate on a nonprofit initiative that will help millions of teens explore careers in every field.
We are looking for entrepreneurial, passionate, and energetic students with exceptional skills who are ready to take initiative and assume leadership positions in this innovative, emerging nonprofit.
Here is the problem we are tackling: Most high school students (and many college students) do not know what career path they want to pursue, or even what opportunities exist. Further, they do not have a good free way to figure it out.
Our Approach: ClassWish.org, an exciting new nonprofit, is launching a new initiative, To The Next Generation. We will provide students with useful information, spark their passions, and help them find their callings in life. Our program has three parts, all of which will be available at no cost:
- High-profile experts in every field, from Acting to Zoology, will be featured in a series of videos, where they will discuss the many career opportunities.
- Our website will provide a curated presentation of engaging resources for each field, e.g., videos, websites, photographs, role models, articles, books, and even information on college scholarships.
- We will also help students connect with mentors online and in011person.
The Work: You will take leadership on the program and work with other highly motivated interns, established professionals, and directly with our co-founders as we:
- collect and curate compelling content for the website
- recruit academics and professionals as Advisors and Role Models
- promote the service to students, directly and through partner organizations, as well as through media, and social media outlets
The Environment: This is, frankly, a great place to work. We get great interns from all over the country and all over the world, so the atmosphere is energetic, creative, and fun. It’s also casual; we’re interested in your brains, creativity and heart. Want to work in jeans, a t-shirt and flip-flops? Why not!
What do we offer? You will get to do exciting work, enhance your resume with a solid record of professional achievement and community service, work with great people, and have the satisfaction of knowing that you have helped students find their callings.
If you want a great experience doing something you will always be proud of, send a cover letter and a resume to TTNGinterns [AT] ClassWish . org.

About ClassWish.org

Mission Statement
ClassWish.org helps schools and teachers get the supplies and equipment children need to explore their potential and excel.
Description
The Problem
Few schools have enough money for the supplies and equipment children need to explore their potential and excel. Art supplies, musical instruments, science equipment, books, computers, sports gear, even paper for the printers and copiers are in short supply, and budget cuts are making it much worse.
Our Approach
ClassWish.org helps teachers and schools inspire and tap support in their communities:
· Teachers and school leaders create wish lists of the resources they need
· Parents, alumni, businesses and others in the community can see exactly what is needed and how they can help
· They contribute online and may match their donation with one to a low-income school that needs more support
· Donors receive a receipt for their tax-deductible donation
· ClassWish ships the items directly to the schools, at no cost
The result? Teachers get the support they need. Parents and communities are engaged in supporting classrooms and funding the things they care about. And everyone is united in helping our children learn, grow and perform at their best.CAUSE AREAS
