Special Events Coordinator Internship at Cystic Fibrosis Foundation - Central Ohio Chapter

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, with 80 offices around the United States, offers a limited number of internships to top students interested in hands-on experience at a leading national nonprofit organization.  The CF Foundation is currently interviewing candidates for internship opportunities at its Central Ohio chapter office, located in Worthington. 

The CF Foundation has recently been featured in USA Today, Forbes Magazine, and US News & World Report for its innovative and entrepreneurial methods and success. The Wall St. Journal's Smart Money has recognized the CF Foundation as a leader among U.S. health/research charities for keeping administrative costs to a minimum while maximizing funds for medical programs. Because of the organization’s methods and success, it has been the subject of two Harvard Business School case studies.  Ninety-six percent (96%) of CF Foundation employees report that they are proud to be affiliated with the organization and that the mission/purpose makes them feel their job is important (2008 Employee Survey). 

Students will work under the guidance of CF Foundation staff, acquiring skills and experience as they assist in the planning and implementation of fundraising events (such as the national Great Strides Walk for CF). The experience will include interaction with volunteers and vendors in addition to CFF staff. This is a non-paid internship, which may qualify for academic credit at your institution.
