Operations and Communications Intern at The Partnership for Transparency Fund

The Partnership for Transparency Fund (PTF) is a nonprofit organization based in Washington, DC. PTF’s mission is to advance innovative citizen-led approaches to improve governance, increase transparency, promote the rule of law and encourage citizen engagement in developing countries.

PTF’s internship program is designed to provide students and recent graduates with opportunities to take on independent projects of interest under the guidance of highly experienced international development professionals.

The Operations and Communications Intern will work directly with the Program Manager and Communications Manager on the daily maintenance of PTF initiatives, while also helping to implement exciting new projects. By doing so they will acquire a broad background in non‐profit operations and will participate in special projects with Advisers and Staff. This is an unpaid virtual part‐time internship, requiring a minimum of 20 hours per week. Interns are expected to provide their own laptop and internet connection.
