About us:

Street Child is a charity dedicated to empowering some of the most vulnerable children in the world by giving them the chance to go to school and giving their families the sustainable means to keep them there. There’s never been a better time to get behind our cause; we are an ambitious and exciting international development charity and this is your chance to be a part of an incredible fundraising adventure!

At Street Child, we are very lucky to have fantastic volunteers committed, keeping overheads low so that as much funding as possible can go to our projects in West Africa and Asia. We are currently looking for a full time (35hours/week) Norwegian intern to join us in our Barcelona office. The preferred internship duration is 6 months; however shorter durations can be discussed.

Street Child embraces skills diversity among interns and we are more than happy, according to our current needs, to craft tasks depending on the personal qualities of the intern and/or give the intern freedom to apply his/her personal skills. 

 

Key Tasks:

You will be part of a small team led by the Street Child EU Development Manager. Below are some examples of your responsibilities but you will spend 60% of your time on the first 2 tasks

  • Fundraising research: Researching the Norwegian fundraising market both for private and institutional donors; finding new funding prospects and opportunities including trusts, foundations and major donors in Norway.  
  • Proposal writing: Writing funding proposals to Norwegian foundations/institutions to support Street Child’s projects. 
  • Marketing and Communications: Setting up and updating a Street Child Norge website as well as social media channels. 
  • Administrative tasks: Support the Street Child Norge Board with administrative tasks. 
  • Business development: Build and manage Norwegian collaborations and partnerships.  
  • Event management: support planned events and develop new ideas 

 

What are the benefits of an internship at Street Child? 

The internship is unpaid but you will gain valuable experience for your CV through working on a wide variety of tasks and through the regularly provided training sessions, giving you the chance to improve both your professional and personal skills. We also provide assistance in applying for grants like Erasmus+.  

As Street Child is still a fairly new organization, you will have greater responsibility than in other internships and you will have the chance to make a big impact for a great cause. Moreover, by working with a young, dynamic and international team, you will meet culturally diverse people and have the opportunity to practice different languages.
