Experiences and Events Management Intern
About Greenhouse
Sustainable, generational change in under-resourced communities has proven difficult to achieve. Greenhouse is changing that paradigm by working from within – partnering with the most inspiring young leaders and surrounding them with a powerful, lifelong community. Together, we’re launching and scaling bold initiatives that are transforming communities across our country and the world.
What We’re Looking For
As the ideal candidate, you are a high-performing, entrepreneurial, self-starter who is passionate about creating a positive impact. You have experience with some of the responsibilities outlined below and are eager to learn more and refine your skills. You love working as part of a team but are comfortable taking the initiative to get things done.
What We Offer
One of our core values is accountability. We are accountable to our interns the same way they are accountable to us. This is not an internship where you will be fetching coffee or doing data entry all day. It is our goal to provide value to you in the form of skills and experience that will help you in your chosen career. Sure, there will be some classic intern stuff on your to-do list, but much more of your time will be spent doing “real work.” Our interns are wholly responsible for their own projects and are trusted to work on those projects independently, sometimes with little oversight. We give you the opportunity to grow into the role, make it your own, and become an integral part of our team.
Greenhouse summer interns will receive a stipend of $1,000.
Intern Role and Responsibilities
The Experiences and Events intern will work alongside the Events and Marketing teams to plan and execute the organization's major fundraising events for the summer season. You will have the opportunity to support a variety of our event planning projects and be responsible for tasks such as:
- Providing logistical and operational support leading up to our annual community event and onsite (e.g. registration build out, floor plan design, communicating with vendors, etc.)
- Social media support
- Research venues, vendors, suppliers, and conduct outreach
- Support event systems and processes by tracking timelines and deadlines, taking detailed notes, and being highly detailed overall
- Conduct detailed research and analysis of competitive events
- Help with post-event surveys, thank-you communications, and reporting
- Work with marketing/communications to help develop promotional materials (e.g. emails, social media posts, programs, signage etc.)
- Support donor stewardship efforts by helping to brainstorm and execute thoughtful, engaging event experiences and personalized follow-up
This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a fast-moving events and marketing team, learn and develop critical event-planning skills, and have a lot of fun in the process. We can’t wait to hear from you and see what you love about event planning!
