Intern in Communication and Fundraising

Description de l'offre

Amazon Shelter is a small local non-profit organization that was created in 2007 by Magali Salinas, in order to rescue and rehabilitate as many animals as possible. We welcome many species of monkeys (howlers, capuchins, squirrel monkey for example) as well as macaws, peccaries, tortoises and far more. We also work for the conservation of the environment and Peruvian Amazon wildlife through environmental education, in order to achieve a change in behavior in human activities and thus stop the deterioration of their natural habitat.

As we work in a self-funded way, we need resources to keep running our organization. Because of this we need someone who can contact and obtain new resources.
We also need someone who can help us recruit new volunteers and donors and manage Amazon Shelter’s online presence.

• Research and contact of new funding sources

• Carry out campaigns or activities (practices or on-line) of obtaining funds
