The Development and Outreach Department of Human Rights Watch (HRW) is seeking interns for the Sydney office. Ideally, interns will be available for three months beginning in September 2022 (dates and schedule are flexible) with the possibility to extend.
Due to COVID-19, many of our global offices are operating in reduced capacities. The successful candidate may be required to work remotely if local mandates necessitate. We recognize that this moment, during the pandemic, is a uniquely difficult time for most people, particularly those with caregiving responsibilities, and we aim to be as flexible and supportive as possible in both the recruitment for and onboarding of this position.
Responsibilities:
Interns will primarily contribute to outreach and development initiatives, using database tasks, monitoring press coverage, planning events, using social media to promote events, and conducting background desk research.
Other projects may be assigned as they arise and when they match the intern’s interests.
Qualifications:
Interns must be currently enrolled students for the duration of the internship.
This position is best suited for individuals interested in interning in a large, well-organized, international non-profit organization. Applicants should be well-organized, self-motivated and reliable with a strong interest in international human rights. Experience with media, social media, government relations, event planning, and Sales Force is beneficial.
Computer skills (e.g., Microsoft Office) are strongly preferred.
