About Our Organization: Established in 1983, Anti-Violence Partnership of Philadelphia (AVP) is a non-profit victim service agency whose mission is to reduce the cycle of violence in Philadelphia by providing a wide range of intervention, prevention, and support services to children, youth, adults, and families to rebuild their lives in the aftermath of violence. Services for victims of violence and co-victims of homicide include, but are not limited to individual, family, and group counseling; victim advocacy; court accompaniment; victim compensation assistance; grief support; crisis intervention; and violence prevention training for children, their parents, teachers, and service providers. AVP’s comprehensive and collaborative programs are offered throughout Philadelphia in schools, social service agencies, the courts, and the community sites. Services are provided to Philadelphians free of charge. AVP does not require clients to have proof of insurance or citizenship.

 

About This Internship: As a Data & Evaluation Intern, you will play a vital role in ensuring the delivery of essential services to those impacted by violence by assisting in research, data collection, and data analysis. The Data & Evaluation Internship is a hands-on, project-based internship that works closely with the Data & Evaluation Manager and leadership. Responsibilities may include the following*:

  • Research: Identify nonprofits that are known for their data collection methods, with an emphasis on those working with crime victims, as well as organizations that collect data on crime victimization and the effect of different intervention methods.
  • Writing: Draft a public research report that proposes actionable steps AVP and/or key stakeholders can take.
  • Program Evaluation: Assist with designing quantitative and qualitative surveys;  conducting focus groups and in-depth interviews with victim, survivors, community members, and partners; and analyzing programmatic and client data.
  • Data Visualization: Use R, ArcGIS, PowerBi or other data tools to map and visualize various internal and external data, AVP interventions and the quantitative survey results.
  • Other Duties as Needed: Any other responsibilities as requested by the Data & Evaluation Manager and/or AVP staff.

*Specific responsibilities will be dependent on the timing of the internship, current organizational priorities, and intern skills and interests. 

 

Why This Internship: This hands-on, project-based internship is a great stepping-stone for students looking to build a data and evaluation portfolio. You will learn how a nonprofit uses data to drive meaningful social impact by gaining relevant skills and concrete experience. We are a small nonprofit organization dedicated to doing things differently and innovatively – will you help us?
