Use your communications skills to expand the reach of an organization that focuses on empowering the youth of their community by unleashing their potential through dance. Be part of a South African-based nonprofit that teaches dance to kids from underprivileged communities in townships. Their mission is to equip children with confidence and important skills through the power of dance so that they can later pursue opportunities that are scarce in their communities. In this internship, you'll join a small but dedicated team and assist with digital communications, fundraising, and overall development of their organization. As an intern, you'll contribute to fast-growing projects while developing diverse skills. Join remotely or in Cape Town, where you'll meet the team, attend dance classes, and gather field content. Tasks depend on your skills and interests, you could work on the more creative side of communications ranging from writing online content and newsletters, managing social media, and assisting with running digital fundraising campaigns; or work behind the scenes in marketing, engaging in research, proposal writing, monitoring and evaluation, and stakeholder management.

Worked with social media - created monthly post charts, worked with a DM Instagram strategy..., kept tracked of the MFT donors, made many spreadsheets that related to various matters for the organization, created a personalized fundraiser.... One thing that I gained a lot of knowledge from was my personalized fundraiser. Here I learnt quite a few things about fundraising techniques - it is not as easy as I thought!
I wrote my bachelor thesis on fundraising communication strategies for the German market in order to help Move for Two expand its pool of monthly donors internationally. I learned a lot about fundraising marketing and am so happy that I was able to broaden my horizon. Move for Two was always extremely supportive and encouraging, making my bachelor thesis pleasant and fun. I look forward to staying in contact with them and help implementing new ideas wherever I can.
