Bring Events to life. Learn by doing. Build experience in nonprofit event management.

This internship is designed for students or individuals interested in gaining practical, real-world experience in event planning, fundraising, and community engagement.

This is a structured learning opportunity focused on professional development, mentorship, and exposure to nonprofit event planning from concept through execution.

  • Observe how budgets, sponsorships, timelines, and project management contribute to successful events.
  • Strengthen professional skills including organization, communication, customer service, teamwork, adaptability, and problem-solving in a fast-paced environment.
  • Participate in post-event evaluations to identify successes and opportunities for future improvement.

Mentorship & Growth

Interns are supported by experienced staff who provide guidance, feedback, and opportunities to observe and participate in real work environments. This experience is designed to help individuals build confidence, learn workplace expectations, and explore whether a career in nonprofit management, development/marketing, and/or event management is a good fit.
