Omschrijving van de vacature

Search for Common Ground (Search) is an international non-profit organization that promotes peaceful resolution of conflict. With headquarters in Washington, DC, Search’s mission is to transform how individuals, organizations, and governments deal with conflict - away from adversarial approaches and toward cooperative solutions. With a total of approximately 800 staff worldwide, Search implements projects from 54 offices in 34 countries, including in Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the United States.

Interns play a critical role in Search’s peacebuilding programs through fundraising from governments, multilateral organizations, and foundations, and the design of new programs in coordination with our regional teams. This internship offers students hands-on experience in program design and a behind-the-scenes look at a non-governmental organization. Interns will be introduced to our network of donors and partners in the field of peacebuilding and within the broader humanitarian-development-peacebuilding nexus. Progress against the learning objectives will be monitored by the intern’s supervisor.

Search for Common Ground seeks a professional, motivated intern to assist its European Affairs and Partnership (EAP) team in all European business development activities, including funding research, fundraising data analysis, and support to proposal development. Interns must be available at least 32 hours per week for a period of six months from February 2024 onward.

- Insights into peacebuilding and conflict transformation methodologies and programming

- Knowledge of the work of European institutions and European governments on the topic of peacebuilding

- Experience of business development:

- Understanding of funding instruments and funding research; proposal development

- Skills to better organize and prioritize own work, time management

- Expanded network in Brussels

Progress against the learning objectives will be monitored by the intern and their supervisor. The learning objectives and/or tasks may be modified during the internship if this is deemed appropriate by both parties.

The intern will be an integral part of a dynamic Brussels Headquarters team and the GAP team. The intern’s responsibilities are to: a) support the business development work of the EAP department, particularly through research, b) support the advocacy work of the EAP as needed and c) to support with administrative work as needed.
