Summer Intern
Since our founding in 2004, Interfaith Philadelphia has challenged people across sectors to dare to understand one another. Our bold vision is to have our region reflect the vibrancy of a religiously diverse democracy, one in which all people are valued, distinctive traditions are welcomed, and people of diverse backgrounds collaborate to shape a just and compassionate society.
Interfaith Philadelphia has a wide array of internship opportunities for undergraduate students, seminarians, and graduate students (as well as recent graduates) from across the country. We are seeking interns who are passionate about grassroots community work and intergroup understanding. Interns will be able to:
- Work with our Youth Initiatives to plan and execute our Youth Neighborhood Mosaic summer program
- Support our programming for Religious Freedom: Then & Now, exploring 250 Years of Interfaith engagement and understanding in Philadelphia
- Join our Leadership Institute team to strategically plan, market, facilitate, and evaluate a year of dialogue workshops and educational events
- Manage the website, social media, e-newsletters, and multimedia resources within the communications department
- Work with nonprofits and congregations in our region doing peace-building work through our Zones of Peace initiative
- Support our development team through event planning, material design, and grant writing
- And much more...
Interns can also expect individual mentoring from Interfaith Philadelphia staff and board members who will help interns to build professional skills such as communication, relationship-building, leadership, project-management, teamwork, persuasive writing, and personal impact development.
Interfaith Philadelphia operates in a hybrid format, meeting in person on Mondays and Tuesdays and virtually Wednesdays through Fridays.
Interfaith Philadelphia is able to offer a small stipend to our interns, but we also encourage applicants to seek outside funding sources. We are happy to help interns earn course credit or develop an independent study program through their college or university.
To apply, please email a resume and cover letter to Betul Maden-Yilmaz at bmy@interfaithphiladelphia.org
