    Description

    The Pablove Foundation

    Remote | Part-Time (10–15 hours per week) | Volunteer

    About The Pablove Foundation

    The Pablove Foundation is a national nonprofit dedicated to funding innovative pediatric cancer research and providing arts education programs to children living with cancer. Our signature photography program, Shutterbugs, empowers youth through creative expression, confidence-building, and community connection.

    We are a small but deeply mission-driven team committed to meaningful impact.

    About This Internship

    We are seeking a highly organized, detail-oriented, and mission-aligned volunteer to support both our Shutterbugs photography program and broader nonprofit administrative operations.

    This volunteer role is ideal for students or early-career professionals interested in:

    • Nonprofit management
    • Youth program operations
    • Grant research and fundraising strategy
    • Data systems and administrative operations
    • Social impact leadership

    You will gain hands-on experience inside the inner workings of a national nonprofit organization and directly contribute to programs serving children and families.

    This is not a “coffee and copies” role, you will be trusted with meaningful responsibilities that support real program delivery.

    Key Responsibilities

    Shutterbugs Program Support

    • Assist with student and parent communications
    • Track applications and enrollment status
    • Support coordination of parent and volunteer orientations
    • Help manage photography kit inventory and shipping logistics
    • Maintain organized program documentation
    • Assist with volunteer teaching artist onboarding tasks

    Grant & Research Support

    • Conduct research on potential grant opportunities
    • Assist with grant tracking and data entry
    • Help consolidate and maintain funder databases
    • Support deadline tracking and reporting preparation

    Administrative & Data Entry Support

    • Maintain organized digital filing systems
    • Assist with database updates
    • Conduct light research for strategic initiatives
    • Support campaign and event tracking tasks as needed

    What You’ll Gain

    • Direct mentorship from nonprofit leadership
    • Exposure to grant strategy and program operations
    • Experience working cross-functionally on youth initiatives
    • Real responsibility and ownership of meaningful projects
    • Resume-building experience in nonprofit administration
    • Insight into fundraising, event logistics, and compliance work

    This role is designed to provide hands-on educational experience in nonprofit program operations and grant strategy.

    Qualifications

    We are looking for someone who is:

    • Extremely detail-oriented
    • Organized and systems-minded
    • Strong written communicator
    • Comfortable working independently in a remote environment
    • Proficient in Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Drive)
    • Interested in nonprofit or mission-driven work
    • Comfortable with research and data entry tasks

    Bonus (but not required):

    • Experience with Asana or project management tools
    • Interest in photography, arts education, or youth leadership

    Time Commitment

    Part-Time | 10–15 hours per week

    We are seeking someone who can commit at least 6 months, as continuity is important for our youth programming and operational initiatives. There is opportunity to extend beyond that based on mutual interest and availability.

    Compensation

    This is a volunteer role designed to provide hands-on educational experience in nonprofit operations.

    Applicants seeking academic credit are encouraged to consult with their institution regarding eligibility requirements. We are happy to complete required documentation where applicable.

    How to Apply

    Please submit:

    • Resume
