Would you like to stand up for intergenerational justice and become familiar with working in a small NGO? Are you willing to help prizes endowed with €10,000, or to support an art project on the topic of intergenerational justice? These are only two of many more exciting ventures.
The Foundation for the Rights of Future Generations (FRFG) is looking for interns to support our young team.
We offer the chance to work on:
- Organising symposia and conferences
- Initiating projects for intergenerational justice projects through press releases, contacts with decision-makers and marketing work
- Awarding the Intergenerational Justice Prize and the Demography Prize, both endowed with €10,000
- Academic research and studies on topics touching upon intergenerational justice
As well as:
- Insight into the work of a small NGO
- A flat hierarchy, the chance to work independently, to show responsibility and to bring your own ideas to the table
- The free use of a furnished apartment for the duration of your internship
Tasks may include:
- (co-)organising conferences
- administering the prizes
- internet research on current topics
- reviewing scientific books and essays
- website maintenance
- public relations work/contributions to the monthly newsletter
- fundraising
- day-to-day office tasks
Internship Requirements:
- good command of English, additional language skills are welcome
- comprehensive MS-Office skills
- commitment and flexibility
- ability to work both in a team and independently
- the confidence to talk to important decision-makers from politics and business
- firm interest in intergenerational justice, sustainability and demography
- currently studying law or political or social sciences (or a comparable programme)
- previous experience with social media, press work or WordPress is advantageous
- high degree of personal responsibility
The FRFG usually does not employ interns who have already finished their studies. Exceptions apply, but we cannot promise a permanent position following a successful internship.
Start/Term of Internship:
Applications are welcome for any time period but we recommend applying at least four months before you would like to start. Internships last six to twelve weeks (thirty-five hours a week).
Part-time internships (3–4 days per week) with individual arrangements regarding working hours and location are possible. Please mention this in your application.
Payment:
As a non-profit NGO, where most people work completely unpaid (e.g. board members, advisors), we are not able to pay any kind of salary. We do, however, provide a furnished apartment for the duration of your internship free of charge.
Application:
Please send us your detailed application (cover letter, CV, certificates) by email.
