About Greenhouse Scholars
Greenhouse is a diverse community of leaders working together to ensure people of all backgrounds can live a life of their choosing. We are focused on sustainable, generational community change – especially in the lowest-resourced communities. We are creating results through the transformative power of higher education, by working with the most inspiring role models from these communities, and by launching hundreds of new companies and projects. We are seeking a high-performing, hard-working candidate to join us.
Greenhouse Scholars is seeking interns to join our team in Boulder, CO.
Who we’re looking for:
As the ideal candidate, you are a high-performing, entrepreneurial, self-starter who is passionate about creating a positive impact. You have experience with some of the responsibilities outlined below and are eager to learn more and refine your skills. You love working as part of a team but are comfortable taking the initiative to get things done on your own.
Greenhouse Scholars spring interns must be available to work 20 hours per week and will be spent in person at our Boulder, CO office.
Ideal Candidate Will Possess:
- Passion for education, leadership, community engagement, and/or social entrepreneurship
- Attention to detail and commitment to high-quality work
- Excellent project management skills
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Ambition, drive, comfort with autonomy, and a positive attitude
- Ability to work in a team environment
- Comfortable working within online platforms including Google Suite and Microsoft Office. Knowing Salesforce is not required but would be a major plus
What we offer:
One of our core values is accountability. We are accountable to our interns the same way they are accountable to us. This is not an internship where you will be fetching coffee or doing data entry all day. It is our goal to provide value to you in the form of skills and experience that will help you in your chosen career. Sure, there will be some classic intern stuff on your to-do list, but much more of your time will be spent doing “real work.” Our interns are wholly responsible for their own projects and are trusted to work on those projects independently, sometimes with little oversight. We give you the opportunity to grow into the role, make it your own, and become an integral part of our team.
Greenhouse Scholars interns will receive a stipend of $1,000.
