Overview

Are you seeking an opportunity to strengthen your advocacy skills and grow your career? At Jubilee USA Network, we work together to advocate for policy change that strikes at the roots of global poverty. We are recruiting Associates who are passionate about social justice and love working in a collaborative team environment. We offer a variety of professional development opportunities that will help you advance your career as an advocate of social justice in the nonprofit and government sectors.

Professional Development Opportunities 

• Curate a professional portfolio by documenting projects, memos, and other relevant material throughout the term. This allows Associates to demonstrate their experience in the workplace through valuable writing samples that are relevant to their future career goals. Examples of portfolio materials could include social media content, official memos, research briefs, fact sheets, major event announcements, graphic design products, and other projects. We assist Associates in professionalizing their portfolios.
• Receive one-on-one mentorship from the Communications & Operations Manager. Each Associate meets with the Manager in the first week to discuss their goals for the internship and their larger professional and academic aspirations. The Manager will work with Associates to assign projects in alignment with those goals. At the end of the internship, Associates will 1) reflect on their experience and 2) discuss next steps with the Manager to determine how they can most strategically move forward in their career and how Jubilee can be a long-term resource. Throughout your time at Jubilee (and beyond!), the Manager is available for resume help, referrals, and career advice.
• Participate in Policy Forums where Associates interface directly with policy experts who have decades of domestic and international experience on issues within Jubilee’s policy portfolio.
• Strengthen transferable hard skills by gaining hands-on experience with various types of software common in the nonprofit sector: Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Content Management Systems (CMS), and project management software. Experience with any of these is not required to join the team - we’ll happily teach you from scratch!
• Develop relationships by working closely with a cohort of 4-6 Associates in a highly collaborative environment. Almost every major project is assigned to a team, which allows Associates to build relationships and balance multiple projects alongside one another.
• Exercise creativity and leadership: If you have an idea on how we can improve an existing process or a pitch for an entirely new initiative, you can lead a pilot project to implement your suggestion in consultation with the Manager.
• End the term with an official letter of recommendation: The Manager will issue an official letter of recommendation to high-performing Associates upon request at the end of the internship.

To Apply

To apply, email your updated resume to [email protected] and include the name of the position(s) you are seeking in the subject line. Please mention if you are open to multiple positions in your email if that is the case. We are accepting applications on a rolling basis and have the capacity to take on four to six associates in the cohort.
