Youth Programs Intern- Full Year
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 is seeking a Youth Programs intern who is passionate about grassroots
community work and helping youth learn how to build and strengthen interpersonal
relationships with individuals from different backgrounds and traditions.

● Support the planning and execution of online and/or in-person youth programs such as:
Customized School Programs, Alternative Spring Break, Passport to Understanding and
more.
● Maintain class rosters, organize participant files, and handle basic data entry.
● Develop and strengthen relationships with IP partners to gather insight on student and
community needs, feedback on programs, and provide tailored support to the Youth
Programs Director.
● Support the development of communications materials for students, families, school
partners, community partners, and stakeholders. This may include drafting email
communications, newsletters, announcements, presentations, event invitations,
promotional messaging, and other materials that support regional and national
HealthCorps initiatives.
Qualifications
● Education Status: Current enrollment in an undergraduate or graduate degree program
(Education, Social Work, Sports Management, or Psychology).
● Interpersonal Skills: Strong communication abilities and a positive attitude toward
working with kids and families.
● Requirements: Ability to pass mandatory background checks or childcare clearances.
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.
