Become an Intern

Intern Application
Interns can work with nominees to help create their custom storybooks.  This process includes the following:
  • Working with a supervisor to determine how many nominations you would like to be responsible for overseeing
  • Contacting, corresponding with, and interviewing nominees to get the necessary information about their experiences and memories
  • Helping nominees obtain and upload photographs and assemble their information into a storybook template
  • Editing and modifying material so that it is accurate and meets approval of the nominees
  • Maintaining records of progress for each nomination
  • Corresponding with a supervisor as questions arise throughout the process
 
Involvement in this process gives interns the opportunity to take responsibility for seeing one or several projects through to completion.  Interns gain valuable work experience by planning, scheduling, and overseeing a major part of the publication of each custom storybook.  Interns also gain insight into the lives of these precious individuals who are facing difficult challenges in life.
 
Some interns choose to be involved with administrative tasks as well.  These types of projects include:
  • Contacting local agencies for referrals or nominations for our various projects
  • Creating or drafting documents for publicity purposes
  • Researching and submitting grant applications
  • Developing and improving materials for volunteer training
  • Coordinating projects involving other local organizations
 
Involvement in these types of projects gives interns insight and experience with administrative functions of a non-profit organization.  They develop skills in areas such as generating funding, advertising, and building community relations.
