فرصة تدريب لدى منظمة دولية

Are you a native or fluent English speaker and an exceptionally good writer? Do you aspire to a career in the non-profit sector? Collateral Repair Project has an unpaid internship with the Grant Writing team June – August 2019 and we are looking for a talented researcher and writer who can begin as soon as possible.

Background:

Collateral Repair Project (CRP) in Amman, Jordan has been providing assistance to refugee victims of violent conflict since 2006. Our programs seek to restore dignity among these displaced populations as well as ensure their basic needs are met. We do so through running an Emergency Assistance Program and a Family Resource and Community Center, which hosts a varied program of activities and learning opportunities to allow refugees to re-build the community ties they have lost. CRP’s great strengths are the wealth of knowledge we have about the refugee community in Amman and the strong relationships we have developed with the individuals we serve.

Grant Writing Scope of Work:

• Research grant opportunities and grant-making foundations.
• Write letters of inquiry, and contribute to grant proposals, with the Partnerships & Grants Officer and other members of the Grants Team.
• Assist us to develop new project ideas compatible with CRP’s needs
• Create realistic budgets for projects
• Assist us to build a Grants Database using SalesForce.
• Attending weekly Grants meetings (Mondays)
• Other duties as assigned

Desired Qualifications:

• Native or Fluent English and very strong writing skills
• Experience with budgets and project planning desired
• Experience with non-profits or charitable organizations desired
• Arabic language or fluency in a third language desired but not required

More info:

• Commit to work at least three full days (21 hours per week) or more at the CRP offices in Hashemi Shamali.
• Interns must bring their own laptop computer to work every day.
• Be fully committed to the hours that you agree to work with us. Constant tardiness and absenteeism lets down the refugees that we serve and makes it difficult for us to run our programs, and you may be asked to leave if commitment becomes an issue.
• Our Community Center is open from 10 am to 5 pm from Sundays to Thursdays, with limited programming on Saturdays. We are closed on Fridays.
• We are unfortunately unable to provide a stipend or remuneration to interns and volunteers. Interns and volunteers are also not housed by CRP, though we can provide advice on how to find housing in Amman.
• We do not facilitate access to our beneficiaries for researchers. Anyone in violation of this rule will be asked to leave.

Benefits

This position is unpaid. We do provide the following benefits:

1. Opportunities to interact meaningfully with the refugee community in Hashemi Shamali and to learn about the challenges that urban refugees face. Also, a way to contribute to a worthwhile cause with your free time in Amman.
2. Professional development of skills that are broadly applicable across multiple sectors, such as fundraising and grant-writing.
3. Informal opportunities to improve your Arabic language skills.
