Position: Marketing                                                                                                      

Commitment: 8 hours per week

 The marketing intern will work with local and international staff and volunteers to understand the mission, vision, activities, and values of the organization, particularly through our operations in Cameroon. To communicate this with a larger audience in the US, the intern will develop a marketing strategy which will incorporate an “interactive” donor relations model which will encourage funders to continue to invest in social development. Target groups include soccer teams, schools, individuals, and corporations. The ultimate objective is to create a steady stream of funding from the general public, which will complement funding from other grants and foundations. The intern will develop a marketing plan as a deliverable for the project.

 Tasks/Responsibilities

• Complete analysis of sports for development NGOs and similar nonprofit organizations who benefit from donations from the general public
• Understand/incorporate the added value of ‘cultural exchange’ into marketing
• Incorporate strategies and tactics “on the fly” to begin to generate a buzz before a final marketing plan is complete
• Understand fundraising is an integral component of internship
• Develop a marketing plan to engage local communities in sustainable relationships with the organization for fundraising/ general awareness
