We are looking for highly motivated people to support our mission and bring excellent interpersonal and communication skills to the task. Internships and volunteer positions provide a substantive, challenging work experience and will expand your understanding of IIJD's work and development work in genral. Interns and volunteers perform many of the same tasks and frequently work together on projects, but there are some key differences between internships and volunteer positions at IIJD:

| 200 hours is an acceptable minimum commitment. | |

May work for credit or a college-provided stipend. |
• |
Summer interns work for a minimum of thirty-two (32) hours per week for at least 12 weeks. |
• |
Interns are generally not paid by IIJD. |
| OUR VOLUNTEERS: | |

• |
May be in an accredited educational program, but may not want to be interns. |
• |
