Community Connector Internship

Friday 27 June 08

Remember WIMPS went to Italy last month in May, over there we met the lovely Chiara Camponeschi. She is the Multilingual Programs Manager for TakingITGlobal. Well she is looking for volunteers so if the below interests you just get in contact with her or check out their site here.

TakingITGlobal is looking for motivated, creative and outgoing young people for our Community Connector team! If you're interested in youth engagement in the online environment, gaining experience in online media and working in a high-energy community, this could be your ideal placement.

An internship with TIG is a great opportunity for young students to become personally involved in our international organization and to play a role in inspiring, informing and involving other young people around the world. This internship gives you a chance to affect change and get involved in your local community, strengthening youth networks and mobilizing youth to participate in their local area.

The Community Connector Internship is a six-month position, starting in mid-August 2008 and ending in mid-February 2009 for a weekly rate of 5-8 working hours. It is an unpaid Internship, but will afford the opportunity to gain valuable experience working within an international NGO, using Web 2.0 tools to engage youth, and making connections with local groups and organizations.
