International Volunteers Network, Inc ,Internships Program in Uganda for 2015

Internship description
International
Volunteers Network (IVN) is now accepting applications for our 2015 internship
program in Kampala and Fort Portal, Uganda. Our Internship Program offers 12-24
weeks placements to capable, responsible interns to take on support and
leadership positions that are essential to the effective management and
successful operation of the organiz

ation. It’s an intense, immersive program
for students and young professionals looking to gain international development
experience and training.

Jobs
on the IVN Management Team (MT) provide unparalleled opportunities to earn
invaluable professional experience in an extraordinarily challenging
environment. Throughout our history, many people have surpassed their own
preconceived notions of personal and professional capacities to accomplish incredible
successes that have helped shape the organization as we now know it.
These
volunteer interns are of paramount importance to the continuous growth and
improvement of International Volunteers Network; they make a truly lasting
impact in the community we serve by ensuring other volunteers have the tools
they need to successfully execute projects each and every day.
The
need for consistency and continuity in our management practices obliges us to
require IVN Management Team volunteers (interns) undertake a minimum service
commitment of three months. The following areas are central to our ability to
reach our full potential:
  • Office
    Administration
  • Financial
    Management & Planning
  • Organizational
    Accounting
  • Fundraising
    & Grant Writing (Local & International)
  • Volunteer
    Coordination & Recruitment
  • Volunteer
    Wellness
  • Marketing
    & Publicity
  • Public
    Relations & Community Outreach
  • Logistical
    Support
  • Tools
    & Inventory Management
  • Project
    Coordination
  • Site
    Assessment
Please
note, additional benefits are afforded to interns who take on certain
leadership roles and increased responsibility as part of the IVN Management
Team. In exchange for a 3 month minimum commitment of service, some MT
volunteers/interns may receive a significant discount of their program fee or
even be provided gratuitous room and board during their service, so long as
they comply with IVN rules & regulations and are able to consistently meet
the established goals and objectives of the position.
Furthermore,
both construction and community development projects require strong leadership
from capable and committed volunteers. Therefore, we ask volunteers with
technical expertise – whether acquired before or after arriving at IVN – to
help guide other team members by ensuring they are prepared and properly
trained to effectively execute the tasks required of a particular project. They
are also responsible for coordinating with the Executive Chairman and other
members of the IVN Management Team as well as ensuring quality monitoring and
evaluation.
