Paid Internship Opportunities!
Life is a journey. The irony is that much of it actually is spent driving
a car...
ITNAmerica® (www.ITNAmerica.org)
seeks energetic people who are passionate about making a difference
in the lives of seniors. The Independent Transportation Network®
(ITN®) works for the safety and dignity of older adults by helping
them stay mobile and ultimately more independent! We currently have
exciting paid college internship opportunities at our national headquarters
and at our affiliate ITNPortland, both located in Westbrook, ME.
In the U.S. most seniors use private automobiles to get around. However,
on average, men outlive their ability to drive by 6 years, women by
10 years. This year more than a million seniors from every socioeconomic
level will turn in their keys. Because there are few alternatives to
driving, many of these seniors will find themselves dependent on overburdened
family members and friends, or worse, stranded in their homes. ITNAmerica
is working to change that. ITNAmerica affiliates use cars to take seniors
where they want to go, when they want to go.
The overarching goal of the internship position at ITNPortland is to
help build the nonprofit’s capacity to become sustainable. Community
outreach will be top priority in the pursuit of this goal. As an ITNPortland
intern you can expect to recruit volunteers, give presentations to local
businesses, plan annual fundraisers, write press releases, update the
website and publish the quarterly newsletter, among other tasks. Interns
at ITNAmerica will help build systems that support these crucial outreach
activities at all of our affiliates from coast to coast. These are ideal
positions for someone looking to gain experience in nonprofit management.
Qualifications:
- Must be a degree candidate at an accredited college or university
- Enthusiasm and a commitment to the ITN mission
- Excellent organizational and project management skills
Strong oral and written communication skills essential
- Strong computer skills and a willingness to learn new programs
- Leadership skills and the ability to work independently
- Fundraising or event planning experience a plus
-Marketing or communications experience a plus
These internships may be of particular interest to students in the
following major fields:
Business Administration
Social Entrepreneurship
Public Policy or Public Health
Nonprofit Management
Communications or Public Relations
Marketing
Psychology
Social Work
Sociology
Gerontology
Internship positions are available immediately, both part-time during
the school year and full-time during the summer.
Interested applicants should send a resume, with cover letter &
transcripts to Jennifer.Demers@ITNAmerica.org

health.

with our mission of promoting health needs and the overall well being
of men and their families. Applicants should have strong written and
oral communication skills, basic computer literacy, and be self-motivated
and goal-oriented. Knowledge of public policy, advocacy, and public
health issues would be beneficial, but training is provided for those
who need it. Starting and ending dates and working hours are negotiable
and flexible, but in return, a degree of flexibility is expected when
special events are taking place.

Funny. Smart. Irreverent. Skeptical. Oh yeah, and award-winning.
Needless to say, this ain’t your father’s business paper.
Mainebiz is a biweekly, statewide business paper that covers everything
from the business of guitars to Maine’s booming building and real
estate market. Of course, there’s also the occasional insurance
or banking piece, too, but we pride ourselves on writing about those subjects
in the same clear, informed (and occasionally sassy) tone in which we
cover everything else.
You, as a Mainebiz intern, are no coffee-carrying lackey. Instead, you
quickly become a part of our four-person staff, participating in editorial
meetings, writing briefs, columns and -- if you’re good -- feature
stories, proofreading and occasionally throwing a ball for Rocky and Zoey,
our office dogs. We can’t offer you cash, but we can guarantee you’ll
leave with a handful of clips and a head full of journalism know-how.
Want proof? Here’s what Caitlin Elsaesser, a 2004 graduate of Carleton
College, wrote about her internship during the summer of 2003: “Mainebiz
gave me the perfect window into the world of journalism. During the entire
duration of my summer internship, I felt like I was a part of the staff:
I was included in all decision making meetings and often asked for input.
The staff at Mainebiz worked to accommodate my personal goals for the
summer.”
What we want from you (there had to be a catch, right?) is a commitment
of 15-20 hours a week for 10 weeks. If your college or university offers
a one-month program, we can talk about that, too. Journalism majors are
great, but we’re also happy to talk with other juniors and seniors
with solid, demonstrable writing experience.
Interested? Check out www.mainebiz.biz,
then email Taylor at tsmith@mainebiz.biz.
We’ll look at your writing samples, set up an interview and see
where it goes.

Project Vote Smart, a political research organization
started by former United States Presidents, Senators, and Congresspersons
from both major political parties, is inviting 4 students from Saint Joseph's
College to work and study at its unique Great Divide Research Center.
With all living expenses funded by the Hearst Foundation,
this unique opportunity will place students at a high-tech research facility
at the Project's exclusive Great Divide Ranch. This extraordinary,
private research center is located high in the Montana Rocky Mountains
and is considered the most accurate, dependable source of political information
on elected officials and candidates by news organizations nationwide.
The Program
The PVS National Internship is a
unique opportunity to become involved in American politics. Students from
across the nation, as well as international students seeking to learn
more about the American political system, come to Philipsburg, Montana
to help American citizens educate themselves about elected officials and
candidates. By providing this information in an easy, accessible manner,
Project Vote Smart believes that citizens can better defend themselves
from the political hype and misrepresentation characteristic of present
day political campaigns.
Interns play a crucial role at Project Vote Smart. In fact,
interns and volunteers make up the vast majority of our staff. The individual
talents, ideas and hard work of our interns have been instrumental in
the success of many of our most important programs.
The work that is done in the office is not glamorous. Since
we cover thousands of elected officials and candidates at various levels
of depth, often times it is tedious and monotonous. However, if you are
interested in making a genuine contribution to the improving of democracy
while working in a positive, idealistic, grassroots environment we would
love to have you join our team. The rewards for your efforts will be great.
As internships go, there is plenty of room to learn and grow with the
organization. A genuine effort is made to accommodate your professional
and educational goals. In fact, interns and volunteers often return as
staff members before moving on in their professional careers.
The Location
The Great Divide
Ranch Retreat and Research Facility is located 30 minutes south of Philipsburg,
Montana inside the Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness. (two hours south of Missoula
and 1 ½ hours west of Butte). We are three miles from the Continental
Divide at 6,000 feet. One of the world's most famous fly-fishing rivers,
Rock Creek, runs along one side of the property and Moose Lake borders
the other. There are a myriad of outdoor activities available to students
year-round. Whether it's hiking, fishing or riding our four horses in
the summer or skiing, ice fishing or snowmobile in the winter, there is
always something fun to do. There are also tennis, basketball and horseshoe
facilities. The housing facilities consist of lodges divided into rooms
that sleep between two and six. Students should expect to have at least
two roommates. We have a full-time lodge manager living on the property
who prepares all meals. As part of living in a group, students are required
to help with weekly cleaning and maintenance chores assigned by the lodge
manager.
