The ideal intern must have strong communication, organization, and writing skills. Candidate must have a high energy level, a professional appearance, and a “go-getter” attitude. Candidate must be comfortable speaking on the phone, making cold calls to local organizations, and have a personable and friendly demeanor. Attention to detail and the ability to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment are critical. The development intern position requires a self-starter with drive and motivation and the ability to work independently with little supervision. Sales and banquet-style event experience a plus.
