What are the benefits of interning with Everybody Wins! Atlanta?

  • Flexibility – Interns are allowed to telecommute everyday except the day that they work as a Power Lunch volunteer and Friday when they will have a mandatory meeting at which time their work will be reviewed and their time sheets will be signed.
  • Recommendation Letters – All interns will have the opportunity to work directly with Terri Beck, the executive director of Everybody Wins! Atlanta.  Since Everybody Wins! is a national organization with deep roots in Washington, D.C., New York, and other major cities, those interns who truly excel at their work will benefit from receiving a letter of recommendation from Terri that will remain on file for future use.
  • Oversight Over a Major Project – Worried that you will just be getting someone coffee?  Think again.  At EW!A you will be given control over important tasks such as posting on our Twitter feed, updating our website, or working directly with schools, board members, and program operations staff to keep our programs and events running.  PLUS, each intern will be be asked to design and implement a major project from start to finish that they can feature in their personal portfolios.  Details are listed in each internship description below
