General Information:

Exile International’s mission is to empower rescued child soldiers and children orphaned by war to become leaders for peace through art-focused trauma care and holistic, rehabilitative care. All interns must be Nashville-based for the duration of their internship. Interns do not work directly with the children or Exile’s African staff; however, they will have the opportunity to work with all US staff members and learn the inner workings of a non-profit. Exile’s workweek is typically M-F within the hours of 9am-5pm. Interns will work alongside the Exile team and independently (this is flexible depending on the current need). We offer interns the opportunity to gain knowledge and experience about the structuring and day-to-day work that goes into making a nonprofit organization run smoothly.

Requirements:

• Nashville-based
• Passionate, hard-working, adaptable, and teachable
• College student or recent graduate
