Marketing and Development Interns will assist with all aspects of marketing and fund development for a Rhode Island Department of Education funded adult education organization. Responsibilities will include creating promotional materials and press releases, maintaining social media, networking within the community and researching grant and fundraising opportunities. This is a great opportunity to learn about non-profit organizations.

Qualifications: Interns interested in marketing, grant-writing, development and/or non-profit management are an ideal fit. Candidates should be personable and able to work with a team as well as independently. Confidentiality is imperative.
