Non-Profit Management Intern - Spring 2023
Overview
CASSE is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with the mission of advancing the steady state economy, with stabilized population and consumption, as a policy goal with widespread public support. A variety of thinkers have signed the CASSE position statement on economic growth - from scientists and activists like Vandana Shiva to economists like 2019 Nobel Laureate Abhijit Banerjee. We are a small organization with a big mission, and we rely heavily on our team of motivated interns.
The Non-Profit Management Intern assists with the basic operations typical of a non-profit organization, and more advanced functions as time allows. This internship is unpaid for 15-30 hours/week (or as appropriate for university internship credits) and is available to undergraduate and graduate students. This position will be in person for Spring 2023.

Skills and Experience
The ideal intern would have general knowledge about non-profit management.

This knowledge and ability should be demonstrable on a resume with relevant academic and/or work experience.
An interest in sustainability and/or economics is a bonus. The ideal intern would be already familiar with the concept of a steady state economy. However, candidates interested primarily in the administrative function of non-profits are encouraged to apply as well.
