Even though we’ve featured two non-profit organizations and their internships every weekend since February, we’ve barely scratched the surface when it comes to non-profits. There are thousands of organizations working to make the world a better place, and their numbers are constantly increasing. This growth has led to more and more non-profit organizations that exist solely to help other non-profits. One example is Globalhood, a New York City based non-profit organization that provides “incubation and consultancy services” with the mission of creating “innovative international development projects by bringing together people and knowledge from across disciplines.” Actually, Globalhood calls itself a “for social profit” not a “non-profit,” but legally it’s still a non-profit.
Globalhood works on all kinds of exciting international projects and takes a unique team based approach to tackling them. If you’re looking for a non-profit internship that will give you real business skills that will translate to the for-profit world, then Globalhood is worth a look. They are currently looking for interns in Graphic Design, Communications & Research, and Project Coordination. The Internships are based in New York City and are unpaid, but there is the possibility for exceptional candidates to work virtually. To apply send a cover letter and resume to info@globalhood.org.

Internships in non-profit organizations are a great way to gain experience. I run a Project Management website, and most of the questions I receive is “How can I become a Project Manager when I need experience to becoming one?”. My answer is always charity/non-profit organizations, they will give you the experience you need.
good point.
