Internships

Hands-on, career-building nonprofit experience with a small team who values your opinions and contributions.

A custom-built internship that uniquely suits your interests/goals and Compassion Connect’s needs.

Flexibility: we work with your schedule and availability. Some internship hours may also be worked remotely.

Community Development- This internship would focus on improving/sharpening a few specific areas of need related to clinics (could be connecting with our clinic guests, data reporting, surveying, registration/flow, forms, inventory management, etc.)

Research/Data- This internship would focus on gathering data and research regarding best practices for health care nonprofits, and implementations of new systems using Compassion Clinics as tests. It would also involve improving our health assessment forms and guest surveys, moving toward digital documentation at clinics, learning current trends for demographics, empowering our volunteer clinic leaders with the right tools, etc.

General- Any health related internships would be great, specific to dental, medical, vision, etc.. We could always use an overhaul of our medical supplies and better ways of tracking and processing them, or something related to research and better knowing community needs and how to address them in a mobile clinic setting.

Trafficking Prevention (General): Compassion Youth Mentoring is our after school program for young people who are facing obstacles in life that may put them at risk for trafficking. If you want to serve youth; be on the front lines of human trafficking prevention; improve your administrative, leadership, and creative skills; and help expand this model across the city, we would love for you to join us for an exciting C.Y.M. internship. If you are passionate about making a dent in the trend of sex trafficking in our area, this internship is a tangible way to do that. Duration is flexible, but we ask for at least a 3-month minimum commitment of weekly mentoring.

Trafficking Awareness/Social Entrepreneurship: Compassion Connect’s Adorned In Grace Bridal Shops sell new and gently used bridal wear that generate funding for our anti-trafficking work and promote awareness of trafficking in our area. Are you passionate about taking down trafficking and also want to build or have retail/business management skills? We are looking for interns who will assist with the management of our two bridal shops (Raleigh Hills and Gresham). This would be significant real-world exposure for a student who would like to gain hands on experience in management or marketing and is passionate about business in a social justice/social entrepreneurship setting.
