New on our website!

Communication Opportunities in Nonprofit Organizations
Featured Speakers: Spurthi Konthan and Kav Sidhu
239 Greene Street, Floor 8
Thursday, March 7, 5:30 - 7:30  RSVP

It’s time to think beyond traditional media companies and ad agencies for internship and career opportunities.  Government agencies, nonprofits and companies that do good are in need of young talent.  After decades ignoring the science behind what makes people care, these organizations are starting to put resources and creativity into their marketing and advertising.   In the past few years, we’ve seen some of the most effective and truly engaging messaging come from local government agencies, including the NE Ohio Regional Sewer District and the NYC Dept of Sanitation.

This panel discussion aims to highlight communication internships and careers in the nonprofit space. The event will feature short presentations by two industry leaders, followed by a brief Q&a session. Light refreshments will be served.

Spurthi Konthan is an MCC alumni (class of 2020). Since graduating she has worked in communication roles for the nonprofit The Project On Government Oversight.  Her current title is digital writer and strategist.

Kav Sidhu is the digital strategy lead at UNICEF.

The NYU College & Career Lab Program is currently hiring undergraduate and graduate students for several jobs for this summer. The jobs include 22 advisors, and 8 lead advisors for five and a half weeks this summer to lead and mentor the middle and high school students participating in the CCL program. 

They are also looking to hire a Graduate Assistant to support the program as well as 2 Assistant Program Coordinators. 

Ideal candidates are representative of the CCL student population, are enthusiastic, have experience working with middle or high school students or being a camp counselor, have leadership skills, and can act as role models for students and peers. Passion for education equity is ideal. Apply via Handshake
