Interns are a critical component of Global Ties KC. Interns are invited to actively contribute to the mission of Global Ties KC by connecting Kansas City to the world. We are in need of interns, where applicants will be asked to attend 1- 2 staff meetings per week, plus completing assigned tasks independently.

Our volunteer intern positions are for upper-class high schoolers, undergraduate, and graduate students — the internship will be catered to your level of experience in a professional setting. Successful applicants will be invited to work with Global Ties KC and will be expected to take on a significant role with the organization. Interns will have the opportunity to gain invaluable nonprofit, international relations, fundraising, and media experience; and become a citizen diplomat by promoting diplomacy in Kansas City. These internships will also provide the skills needed in a variety of employment settings.

Interns will be overseen by Global Ties KC staff. Internships are unpaid, volunteer positions. We encourage 5-15 hours per work week for three months/ one school semester. Extra consideration will be given to applicants who have ties to/knowledge of the Greater Kansas City area and Community.

Overview

Interns work closely with the entire team on all aspects of event planning and implementation. Interns will also work collaboratively on a broad range of tasks including, but not limited to: posting to and monitoring social media channels, updating various databases, participation and note-taking in international meetings, nonprofit leadership, and international education exchange.
