WIN Internship (WINtern)

 

The paid WIN Internship is an opportunity to gain experience doing substantive, staff-level work in member services, event planning, fundraising, database work, and office management. The WINtern is also encouraged to attend events hosted by WIN or other local organizations and is invited to plan networking and programming opportunities for other WIN members currently in Washington, D.C.

 

The WINtern manages the daily operations of the organization, is often the initial point of contact with membership, and is typically the only person in the WIN office during business hours. This position also supports the 12-person, volunteer WIN Board of Directors (known as the Executive Committee), but reports directly to the Vice Chair.
