Standards Internship Program

• Learn to Run a NonProfit

  Do you want to learn about how to run a Nonprofit? Apply for the Nonprofit Excellence Internship!

  Excellence Interns will be taught the best practices for non-profit success then paired with a pre-selected non-profit organization. The Excellence Intern's primary purpose will be to improve the organizational health of their partner non-profit throughout this intense 12 week internship. Interns will take on the task of completing the Standards for Excellence application on behalf of their partner non-profit with the help of the AAN staff. Through working on this rigorous test of organizational health, interns will be allowed to work closely with a diverse group of leaders within their partner organization as well as learn what it takes for a non-profit to be healthy and sustainable.

  If you would like to apply to be an Excellence Intern, then email your resume, cover letter, and two references to AAN's Program Coordinator, Kelsie Overton at Kelsie@alabamanonprofits.org.
