Looking to make a difference while gaining critical real-world experience with an innovative social enterprise? VolunteerMatch is opening two positions this fall and spring for Communications & Marketing Interns who can help us strengthen communities by making it easier for good people and good people to connect.

The Communications & Marketing internships are excellent ways to apply and gain communications, marketing and public relations skills with a leader in the independent sector. Previous interns have earned credit toward university degrees and developed skills and portfolio pieces to help take them to the next level as professionals.
