Housing Equity Intern

Temporary or intern (paid) fixed-term position.

About the role

The intern will contribute to the Collective by supporting knowledge management and learning; story-telling and communication; administration and the facilitation of mainly remote workshops and meetings. This internship offers a unique opportunity to gain practical experience in an international development organization focused on housing, work with teams from across the globe, and contribute to impactful housing solutions. Given that the work spans various time zones, there may be limited occasions when work outside normal working hours (9am – 5pm) will be required. These will be kept to a minimum and will not be mandatory.

• Review team plans and related documentation to identify connective threads between teams or potential areas for exchange and learning.
• Support the Program Director to ensure relevant documentation is translated and uploaded to shared drives and internal intranet.
• Write notes from learning sessions and ensure they are shared with Collective participants.

• Edit videos, write blogs, or other communications based on Collective-related learning and reflections sessions for broader audiences.
• Identify compelling ‘success’ stories and communicate them; develop presentations.
• Support the organization, scheduling, and note-taking for Collective-related meetings.
• Offer support to facilitators in (remote) workshops and meetings (e.g., support with technology, putting people into groups, ensuring sessions are recorded, ensuring interpretation works, capturing highlights).
• Help improve efficiency and effectiveness in file storage, accessibility, and use.

About Us

Habitat for Humanity, founded in 1976, is a global, Christian-based nonprofit organization that grew out of an intentionally multi-racial community in rural Georgia. Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat brings together people of all faiths and people of no faith to build homes, communities, and hope. Working alongside each other, we help families and individuals build and improve places to call home and achieve the strength, stability, and self-reliance they need to build better lives for themselves. Habitat seeks individuals who have a willingness to affirm these principles and values.

At Habitat for Humanity International, we are compelled by our Koinonia roots to put God’s love for all into action and pursue housing equity and opportunity by bringing all people together to build community and drive impact. We strive to build a culture rooted in learning, accountability, and trust, attracting and retaining mission-driven talent reflective of the global communities we serve.
