Friends of the Children is a youth-serving national nonprofit. Like all children, the youth we serve have unique talents, varied interests and big dreams. Unlike other programs, we exclusively focus on children who are also facing many systemic obstacles. Children who have experienced multiple adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) by the time they reach kindergarten. Children in foster care. We hire and train paid, professional mentors called Friends whose full-time jobs are to support our youth to succeed. Each child has a Friend from as early as age 4 through high school graduation—12+ years, no matter what. We are currently seeking an intern to support our marketing and communications efforts on our National team.
At Friends of the Children, we put children first and use our values to change the way the world treats and views our most vulnerable youth. As our Marketing Intern you will help small, nimble and mighty marketing team amplify the voices of the children, families, and communities we serve through email, social media, and the National website.
