The Get Organized and Lead (GOAL) Summer Internship Program is actively seeking applicants in the All Stars Project of New York, New Jersey, and the San Francisco Bay Area! The program supports a grassroots citywide organizing and fundraising campaign to expand innovative inner-city youth development programs.

Energetic and socially committed students are encouraged to apply to work with the All Stars' leading "out-of-the-box" youth development programs, which for over 30 years have been created independent of government funding but rather through its successful and nontraditional approach to community outreach and fundraising.

Recruiting Now: Intern Positions in New York, New Jersey, San Francisco

This part-time 7-week internship is a unique opportunity for motivated college/graduate to gain hands-on experience within the non-profit sector, working closely with leaders in the field to make significant and tangible change in poor communities.

How It Works:

Learning from some of the most successful community organizers and grassroots fundraisers in the country, interns will be trained in the All Stars' hallmark street-tabling approach to community organizing through performance, raising funds to sponsor underprivileged young people to participate in our free programs.

The Interns will also participate in group projects based on their interests. Specifically the All Stars is looking to continually develop its online networking community through social media such as Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace.

Interns will attend meetings with leading donors and Board members of the All Stars Project, including CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, Managing Directors on Wall Street, hedge fund executives, and attorneys. From these leaders, interns will learn about new models of philanthropy, corporate social responsibility, and diversity in the community and the boardroom in an effort to expand their knowledge of the non-profit arena.

This internship is a leadership development opportunity for students interested in fundraising, community activism, youth empowerment, and performance, who are looking for a challenging experience where they can build programs, develop leadership skills, and make a significant difference for inner-city youth.

• Face-to-face fundraising in outdoors locations throughout New York City
