Internship Program

Since its founding, volunteerism has been an integral part of Kiva's foundation and success. As a Kiva Intern, you will contribute your passion, drive, ideas, and expertise to expanding our reach and impact while taking on immediate and significant responsibilities within your team. In addition to learning on the job, you'll partake in a variety of educational, social, and professional development workshops and events that will accelerate your professional growth while learning about Kiva and the non-profit, technology, and microfinance sectors. 

Through this volunteer internship, we're hoping to provide a high-caliber learning experience. With the completion of our internship program, you will take away many in-demand job skills. Additionally, all Kiva interns will gain exposure to foundational microfinance concepts and ongoing professional development tailored to your career goals. This position will also put you in contact with a wide array of employees around the world, giving you a jump start on networking opportunities.

This Kiva internship is a 6-month, part-time (24 - 32 hours per week), United States-based, remote volunteer position. 

Department overview:

The sponsoring department for this role is one of Kiva's volunteer programs: the Review and Translation Program. Meanwhile, the scope of this role is meant to support two community-related initiatives, which launched last year: The Kiva Alumni Network and the Kiva Ambassador Community.

The Review and Translation Program works with over 400 volunteers worldwide to translate, edit, and review more than 95% of all loan profiles, including personal stories of Kiva borrowers before they are posted for funding on Kiva in a timely manner. 

Last year, the senior manager of the Review and Translation Program branched out to launch Kiva's first Alumni network-which is meant to maintain points of connection with former staff members-as well as Kiva's most recent iteration of an Ambassador Community-which is intended to support Kiva enthusiasts as they spread the word about Kiva. This is a great opportunity for a self-starter who is interested in supporting Kiva's success with two new programs.

Role overview:

As an intern with Kiva's Review and Translation Program (RTP), which is in the process of expanding the scope of the program to incorporate other Kiva Communities, you will play a critical role in supporting and engaging remote Kiva supporters while aiding the growth and development of Kiva's community programs. You will be the face of Kiva, communicating with Alumni and Ambassadors over the globe via email and Slack.

The ideal individual for this position is a self-starter who is detail-oriented, well-organized, loves executing on new ideas, and enjoys interacting with a wide range of people. Those who want to learn more about nonprofit or community management will greatly benefit from the insight and hands-on experimentation with program development gained by being a member of our team. 

At this time, we can only consider applicants with authorization to work in the United States on a permanent, full-time basis; unfortunately we cannot provide visa sponsorship.

• Team collaboration on volunteer engagement logistics -- Draft motivational messaging, plan events, design and analyze surveys, and strategize on timing and method of communication. 
• Enhance process efficiency -- Provide input on streamlining recurring engagement responsibilities for efficiency gains. Propose initiatives that would minimize manual program administration.

Secondary Responsibilities

• General data analysis -- Compilation and analysis surveys, polls, and monthly reports
• Additional support -- Contribute to and manage aspects of various projects as needed.
