Adoptions From The Heart | Wynnewood, PA | Spring and/or Summer
Are you creative, organized, curious, and interested in using your skills to make a difference? Adoptions From The Heart (AFTH), a nonprofit adoption agency serving families and communities across multiple states, is looking for motivated college students to join our Marketing & Communications team for the spring and summer semesters.
This is an opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a dynamic nonprofit environment while contributing to work that has a meaningful impact. As part of a small, collaborative team, you'll have the chance to explore different areas of marketing and communications, take ownership of projects, develop new skills, and see how your work supports an organization serving families across eight branch offices.
What You'll Experience:
- Hands-On, Diverse Experience: Go beyond the typical internship experience! You'll have opportunities to work on a variety of marketing and communications projects, gaining exposure to different areas of the field while developing skills that extend beyond your specific area of study.
- Meaningful Contributions: Your ideas and work will help support AFTH's outreach, storytelling, community engagement, fundraising, and overall mission. You'll have opportunities to contribute creatively, share ideas, and take an active role in projects.
- Collaboration & Teamwork: Work alongside an experienced Marketing & Communications team and see how individual projects and efforts come together to support an agency with eight branch offices.
- Guidance & Mentorship: Receive regular training, supervision, and support from our Marketing Manager, who will serve as your direct supervisor. Weekly team meetings and monthly agency-wide meetings provide additional opportunities to learn, collaborate, and gain insight into nonprofit operations.
Internship Responsibilities:
All interns will gain exposure to a variety of marketing and communications functions, including:
- Social media content development and management.
- Marketing and communications projects.
- Blog writing and content creation.
- Data entry and research.
- Event planning and assistance.
- Agency outreach and community engagement.
- Donor relations and fundraising support.
In addition to these shared responsibilities, we are seeking interns with interest in one of two primary focus areas:

Areas of responsibility may include:
- Marketing outreach and campaign development.

- Media outreach and pitching.
- Public relations and media relations.
- Donor communications and storytelling.
- Social media campaigns and content development.
- Supporting agency communications and outreach initiatives.
Both internships provide the chance to work closely with AFTH's Marketing and Communications Manager and Director of Marketing & Communications, gaining a broad understanding of how marketing and communications support a nonprofit organization.
Who We're Looking For:
Successful candidates will be:
- Detail-oriented, organized, and deadline-conscious.
