Fundraising and Communications Internship

Peacebuilding NGO seeks internship candidates to become actively involved in fundraising and communications for their programmes, providing meaningful assistance to the organisation as it carries out its mission.

Concordis International works impartially alongside those involved in or affected by armed conflict, so that through dialogue they may build relationships of mutual trust and together develop and implement policies that improve human security and lay firm foundations for lasting peace.

The principal areas of work in which interns are involved are communications and fundraising.

Duration: 6 months, minimum 3 days per week.

Role Description

Your internship with Concordis will be divided between fundraising and communications.

Communications role

- Work closely with the Fundraising & Communications Manager, Director of Programmes and the Programme Teams to produce communications materials for social media, our website, newsletters and others

- Help develop and implement the communications strategy

- Monitor social media platforms and our website

- Edit and design reports and publications

- Liaise with our teams in each country to gather information, stories and materials for communications

Fundraising role

- Work closely with the Fundraising & Communications Manager to maintain and develop our fundraising database

- Help develop and implement the fundraising strategy

- Help develop and manage any fundraising campaigns.

The internships are designed to give you concrete experience in communications and fundraising within the international development sector. The role is varied and will require you to work with our small UK team and with other interns in London.

Interns serve on a voluntary basis; there is no salary or stipend, but Concordis will reimburse reasonable expenses including a small daily lunch allowance.

Interns do not follow a formal training programme, but Concordis will seek to provide experience tailored to the skills, needs and aspirations of individual interns within the range of activities outlined above. You’ll be joining us at a time when our fundraising and communications activities are growing, so you’ll get great exposure to strategies, planning, designing and working to tight deadlines.
