Job description

Description

The National Community Reinvestment Coalition (NCRC) and its grassroots member organizations create opportunities for people to build wealth. We work with community leaders, policymakers, and financial institutions to champion fairness in banking, housing, and business. NCRC was formed in 1990 by national, regional, and local organizations to increase the flow of private capital into traditionally underserved communities. NCRC has grown into an association of more than 600 community-based organizations in 42 states that promote access to basic banking services, affordable housing, entrepreneurship, job creation, and vibrant communities for America's working families.

NCRC will be mindful of exam schedules and school-related closings. The intern will grow and learn new skills that can be added to the intern's resume. Upon completion of the internship, the intern will have experiences that will inform their academic studies and will prepare the intern to more knowledgeably pursue a chosen major and career path.
