PTC Internships are unpaid and part time, and can be flexible to the candidate’s schedule. Development interns will assume staff level responsibilities under the supervision of the Development Department. Interns can expect to perform basic, everyday administrative tasks for the benefit of PTC, such as answering phones, filing, making copies, data entry and organizing documents. These tasks will not be the primary focus of the internship, but are essential to the operation of PTC’s Development Department. Other projects will include solicitation mailings, prospect research; drafting of letters, creation of Board presentations, and management of event logistics. Interns will also be given the opportunity to learn how the department works, as well as exposure to other departments. Interns will be invited to attend selected events and Board Committee meetings to enhance their education. Office is open from 9:30 to 5:30, some evenings and weekends.
