Internships at Shared Hope International allow emerging leaders to apply their knowledge and skills in a professional, non-profit environment. Shared Hope interns are usually undergraduate students looking to make a difference and expand their understanding of the issues surrounding sex trafficking, sex tourism, and policy change. Interns are asked to commit between 24 and 32 hours per week during the course of the semester internship. Hours offer some flexibility, depending on program and course requirements. Course credit is available. All internships are unpaid but offer a monthly travel stipend. Communications Interns at the Washington, DC office primarily assist with projects connected to social media, graphic design, and media relations. All Internships consist of less than 25% administrative tasks, including information gathering, staff support, design, writing projects, and occasionally a special project. These special projects are designed and completed by the intern with staff approval. This provides interns with a solid portfolio piece and experience in what project development and management looks like in a small NGO (non-government organization). Depending upon availability, interns also have the opportunity to take part in local awareness events, press conferences, Congressional hearings/briefings, round table discussions, symposiums, and other events in the anti-trafficking community that encourages them to network with other professionals.
