Internships

The Palestine Freedom Project is now accepting internship applications for the Summer, 2010 term. The Summer internship term is from June 1st through August 22nd, 2010. However, volunteers are welcome year-round.

In addition to our regular internship program, we are pleased to offer a limited number of "Synergy Internships" in which interns may spend up to fifty percent of their hours working on tasks related to their own local campaigns. Interns will receive academic credit if the necessary arrangements are made with their academic institution. Learn more about Synergy Internships here.

These positions offer hands-on experience with PFP's innovative application of private sector techniques to grassroots political activism. Interns work remotely, using online collaboration tools. Occasional travel to conferences and other events may be requested, but is not required.

Interns will be responsible for conducting critical research, developing resources, and managing limited aspects of PFP's day-to-day operations. We work closely with interns to tailor their duties to their specific interests, and interns may choose a particular focus for their internship, such as BDS organizing, event planning, research, web development, or fundraising. More details on these options will be posted here soon.

Typical duties of our volunteers and interns include:

• Editing and contributing content to PFP's website and publications

• Expanding our massive network of Palestine activist organizations

• Assisting in the management of a professional speakers bureau

• Participation in fundraising and external relations

Applicants should be energetic, highly-motivated self-starters with significant experience in Palestine solidarity activism. Specific skills and experience we look for include writing, editing, research, marketing, public relations, and interpersonal skills. Fluency in English is required, and advanced knowledge of other languages (particularly French, Spanish, or Arabic) is highly desirable. Experience with basic office software, such as word processing and spreadsheet applications, is required. Knowledge of database, presentation, desktop publishing, or project management software is a major plus, and web development/administration skills even more so. To apply, provide all the information and documents requested in the below form. If applying for a credit-based internship, include all necessary paperwork from your college or university. Women, people of color, and other minorities are strongly encouraged to apply.
