Job Description

CRM MARKETING INTERN

National Park Trust seeks a CRM Marketing Intern to support the efforts of our Development and Finance Offices, helping to increase the effectiveness of fundraising, marketing and finance efforts. Knowledge is power and knowledge comes from good data. 

The successful intern will gain hands-on experience in project management and popular Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and financial platforms used by thousands of nonprofits and small businesses. The intern will also learn how development intersects with all areas in nonprofit management, from Marketing, Finance and Administration to programs that protect national parks. The Internship can be structured for a specific period of time (best for students looking to focus on career paths in CRM or finance for nonprofits or small businesses) or for a longer-term engagement, increasing the opportunities to gain deeper knowledge of fundraising and nonprofit management.

This is a part-time (16-24 hour/week) paid position in a friendly, informal, and progressive work environment.

Who We Are:

National Park Trust’s mission is to preserve parks today and create park stewards for tomorrow. Since 1983, the Park Trust has acquired many of the missing pieces of our national parks, benefiting 51 national park sites. Our national youth education and family initiatives, including our Buddy Bison Programs and Kids to Parks Day, serve more than 300 Title I schools annually and cultivate future park stewards. We believe that our public parks, lands, and waters should be cared for, enjoyed by, and preserved by all for current and future generations. Find out more at parktrust.org.

In addition to land projects, NPT achieves its mission to cultivate the next generation of park stewards through our national youth programs. NPT’s outdoor education programs from the Buddy Bison School Program to our Park Experience and College Ambassador programs support students in pre-K through 12th grade, especially those from underserved communities, at more than 300 schools across the country. NPT also organizes Kids to Parks Day, an annual national “day of play” that connects kids and families with their local, state, and national parks.
