At DonorsChoose.org, our interns do more than getting coffee and making copies. Interns are essential in helping the Donor Appreciation Team execute what we like to call our “special sauce” - handwritten student thank-you notes. Interns will work alongside our volunteers to review student thank-yous to protect student privacy, check them into our computer system, and mail the thank-yous to eager donors - all within 24 hours.

Your work is valuable and we want to see you grow and succeed. This might be the role for you if… You’re a self starter and someone who takes initiative. … [Read more...]
