The North Oakland Foundation is a growing non-profit organization that supports health programs, education and services in Northern Oakland County, Michigan.  Our goal is to bring health and hope to families and individuals across Oakland County and beyond. 

The internships are “hands on” non-paid experiences.  The ideal candidates will be:

• Intelligent and motivated, as demonstrated by a 3.00 or greater grade point average.
• Interested in health care or non-profit work as shown by a history of community service.
• Able to work on a variety of tasks at the Foundation for at least 12 hours per week with some employment history or experience that proves that the student can handle responsibility.

Interns will be responsible for a wide variety of tasks in addition to routine office duties.  Specific duties to provide excellent career experience are assigned based on the intern’s interest and background.  For example, the intern may be responsible for:

• Writing press releases,
• Maintaining communications with major and potential donors, as well as funding recipients,
• Developing and implementing processes for one of our major fundraising programs,
• Assisting with special events,
• Engaging in government relations,
