Something for recent grads, or spring '10?
Professor O'Neil,
As the summer is quickly winding down, and summer internships are finishing, I have an opportunity for those students (most likely already graduated) who may be looking for internships this fall.
One of my internships this summer was 2 days a week with the United Service Organizations (USO) where I was a Donor Services Intern. The position was with the USO World Headquarters, located in Arlington, VA, right near the Courthouse Metro.
The duties of the position vary, but include the following:
* Drafting foundation proposals, completing applications for participation with non-profit organizations
* Researching membership with other foundation such as United Way that may have an interest in funding the USO
* Preparing stewardship reports
* Other research & duties as assigned
The position requires a 3.3 minimum GPA, in addition to excellent reading and writing skills, strong internet research skills, the ability to work with confidential material in an appropriate manner, and 2 letters of recommendation.
The USO is a great organization to work with, and I really enjoyed my short time working for them. If you know of any students who are interested in the position (it vacates on Friday August 14, when my internship is complete) please let then know they can contact me with any questions, or go online to www.uso.org and go to the Career Opportunities page. Keep in mind that the USO has offices all over the world - an internship in DC one summer may lead to a position working abroad!
Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions.
Best,
Rebecca Bryant
