Be the Heartbeat of Hope: Fundraising & Development Intern at The Sophia Way

Are you ready to use your skills for something that truly matters? The Sophia Way, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering women to overcome homelessness, is looking for a passionate and dedicated Unpaid Fundraising & Development Intern to join our dynamic team. This isn't just about data entry; it's about being at the very heart of how our community comes together to create lasting change.

Through this internship, you'll gain invaluable, hands-on experience in every facet of nonprofit development-from fundraising and volunteer management to event orchestration and social media marketing. You'll move beyond the theoretical and into the practical, learning how to apply constituent research and campaign evaluation to design initiatives that align with our strategic vision. You'll learn what it takes to inspire a community to do more, becoming an integral part of our mission to provide hope and a pathway to stable, secure lives.

We know you're wondering, "What's in it for me?" This is an opportunity to not only build a robust portfolio of real-world experience but also to gain a deeper understanding of enterprise-level development leadership. You'll sharpen your skills in strategic planning, cross-functional collaboration, and data-driven decision-making. You will be able to apply your knowledge in a meaningful way, directly shaping our capacity for funding stream forecasting and donor engagement. This is a chance to grow professionally while making a tangible difference in the lives of women in your community.

For The Sophia Way, this internship is just as crucial. You'll contribute to our success by helping refine communication strategies, engage our supporters more effectively, and leverage data to make smarter, more impactful decisions. You'll support tasks like creating volunteer opportunity landing pages, drafting compelling donor communications, and helping to plan and execute year-end fundraising events. Your work will directly enhance our ability to serve our community and grow our mission.

If you are a student or a motivated individual with a passion for our mission and a desire to learn, this is the perfect opportunity. You'll be working alongside a dynamic team that values collaboration and innovative ideas. While we will be providing the guidance and mentorship, you will be providing the vital support that helps us build a stronger foundation for the future. By joining us, you'll be able to say you contributed to real change, one data point, one story, and one supporter at a time.
