Internships and Volunteer Opportunities

RICADV needs YOU.

Thank you so much for your continued support of the Rhode Island Coalition Against Domestic Violence; at this time we are currently looking for help in the following areas.

Interns:

Office Intern - Assist with general office administration, specifically filing and support for each RICADV department.  This is a great way to learn about the various areas of our organization and what you might like to  be involved with in the future.  Previous office experience is preferred as well as Microsoft Office knowledge.  Ideal candidates are detail-oriented with a flair for organization.  This is an unpaid internship.  Course credit is available.

Communications/Policy Interns - We have several positions open for unpaid/credit internships in our communications department.  Interns will be responsible for writing press documents, updating websites and social media, as well as, supporting other communications needs.  February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month and interns will be involved in helping to prepare for this primary prevention campaign.  Interns with an interest in policy making will be involved with supporting this year's legislative campaign.  Ideal candidates should have good writing, research and communication skills; be adept at social media; be proficient in Microsoft Office and have an interest in working for a non-profit organization.

SOAR Intern - SOAR is a task force of RICADV made up of survivors of domestic violence in Rhode Island.  SOAR's mission is to promote, advocate and work towards the elimination of domestic violence and to embody and give visibility to the voices of abused women.  The SOAR intern will support the SOAR coordinator on various initiatives and programs designed to raise awareness on the issue of domestic violence.  Ideal candidates should be well organized, have strong communication and computer skills, and the ability to work well in a group environment.  This is an unpaid internship.  Course credit is available.

We are looking for volunteers that can assist us in the areas above as their time and our projects permit.
