Why Intern with NCAAN?

We consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have had amazing interns at NCAAN this past spring and summer. As a small organization, we truly depend upon the talent and energy that motivated interns bring to our work. We literally could not accomplish our goals without them.

So it's no wonder that we're putting out the call for new interns, with five exciting new openings:

* Communication Intern
* Community Organizing Intern
* Development Intern
* Public Policy Intern
* Special Events Intern

To learn more & apply, check out our official posting on Idealist.

And please, help us spread the word about why anyone with a passion for fighting for the rights of people living with HIV/AIDS and the ability to make a serious commitment to us for the next three months should apply.

Here are three things that really stand out about NCAAN as an internship host:

1) NCAAN interns get to work directly with the Executive Director, Board members, and coalition partners. That means that our interns get the benefit of working alongside professionals who can mentor them. And it means that when our student interns look for post-graduate employment, we can speak firsthand about the great work they've done with us.

2) NCAAN interns get to be treated like essential members of the team. That's the feedback we've gotten from past interns who've told us how much they appreciated being treated like a true colleague. And it's no wonder--because our interns really are essential to our work.

3) NCAAN interns get to show off their talents and develop the skills required for their future career paths. Simply put, we need more talented and ambitious people working together to reach our goals--so when we find people with talent and ambition, we put those traits to good use. And in this job market, the most competitive job applicants are the ones who can demonstrate that they've already developed and used specific skill sets to help an organization reach its goals.

We want our interns to have a great experience that's a true win-win.

It all starts by putting the word out... so please help us spread the word!
