Description

• TAAF is excited to offer an internship program that will provide participants with challenging, meaningful, and real-world experience. Participants will support departments on a variety of high-stakes projects related to administrative support, process development and improvement, and project management. In addition to having a dedicated mentor, participants will receive access to leadership and professional growth activities to gain valuable career experience in a fast paced startup environment focused on social change. • The intern working in grants administration will play a pivotal role in enhancing our grants management processes and documentation. This intern will be responsible for organizing and importing historical grant data into our systems, ensuring accuracy and accessibility in our records, and assisting in the refinement of our existing How-To Guides and internal documentation for our grant management system (Submittable) for better usability and compliance. By the end of the engagement, all past grantee records (210 records) will be ready for import into TAAF’s grant management system and TAAF’s documentation guides will be up to date. Interns will collaborate and present a deep dive at the end of their internship to the greater TAAF team on their findings and recommendations. Our ideal intern will believe in working strategically with transparency and accountability, embrace a culture of learning, work respectfully with compassion, kindness and gratitude, and seek to be inclusive and collaborative in decision-making.
