Little plans also do not have the power to\u00a0provide a better education to 56 million kids who deserve more than they are getting today. We\u00a0face a crushing need in schools, have a solid plan to address it, and with your help, we intend to\u00a0grow this very large and very fast.<\/p>\n<p>This sounds much better than the usual cookie dough sales from so many schools.<br \/>\nClassWish.org is the new solution for school fundraising so every teacher can get the classroom\u00a0supplies (s)he needs.<\/p>\n<p>Where are you located?<br \/>\nRight in Manhattan, across from Madison Square Garden, within one block of four express subway\u00a0stops, PATH, LIRR, and NJ Transit. We will also hire interns to work remotely from other cities.<\/p>\n<p>What skills and experience are you looking for?<br \/>\nWe seek a wide range of skills: research, social media, outreach, and marketing. Tell us what\u00a0you\u2019ve got.<\/p>\n<p>I looked at the two websites and have some suggestions.<br \/>\nGreat! This is a collaborative project, and we want to hear from you. Your ClassWish review and\u00a0Have to Have review will be helpful.<\/p>\n<p>Is this a paid internship?<br \/>\nWe can offer a great experience, a great addition to your r\u00e9sum\u00e9, academic credit (if your school\u00a0allows), stunning recommendations, and a chance to make a difference, but we are a start-up\u00a0nonprofit, so can only offer unpaid internship and volunteer positions.<\/p>\n<p>When will you select the interns?<br \/>\nWe\u2019re agile. When we see a great candidate, we extend an invitation immediately. We won\u2019t\u00a0keep you waiting for a decision.<\/p>\n<p>What dates will the internship run?<br \/>\nWe are hiring for the spring semester, for the summer, and beyond. Tell us what you are looking\u00a0for.<\/p>\n<p>What are the hours?<br \/>\nWe welcome full-time and part-time interns. Let us know what works for you.<\/p>\n<p>What will I need to bring?<br \/>\nBrains, heart, passion, energy, and passion. We also need you to bring your own notebook\u00a0computer. As a small start-up, we just cannot afford to buy dozens of machines.<\/p>\n<p>Sounds exciting! How can I apply?<br \/>\nPlease send an impressive cover letter and resume to HTHinterns@ClassWish.org.<\/p><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fashion \u2013 Shopping \u2013 Lifestyle &#8211; Social Media Nonprofit Internship with ClassWish.org Work in NYC or Virtually We are recruiting outstanding undergraduate and graduate students&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":122,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11654","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-intern","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/opportunities\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11654","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/opportunities\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/opportunities\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/opportunities\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/122"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/opportunities\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11654"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/opportunities\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11654\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/opportunities\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11654"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/opportunities\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11654"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/opportunities\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11654"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
