Back 2 Basics Kids Foundation

Volunteers:
We are searching for volunteers to assist with field trip supervision, after school care, flyer distribution, clean up projects, and canned food drives.  Outstanding volunteers will receive support from Back 2 Basics Kids Foundation.  B2B offers incentives for great performance.  We also write reference letters and provide knowledge in the areas of non-profit formulation, community involvement and business.

Internships:
Interns will work closely with B2B directors to help develop and sustain programs for the youth of Atlanta.  Duties will include marketing, fundraising, program formulation and presentation, emailing and callbacks, writing letters and proposals, setting directors' schedules, youth supervision, and more.

These are unpaid internships, but interns will have the ability to earn money through our bonus program.  Also, we will be working closely with employers to help find jobs for those who excel.  B2B will also provide part-time and full-time positions to those who excel.  This is an excellent opportunity to get free training and real world business experience.

Interns must be able to work a minimum of 8 hours per week and are required to have a cell phone, daily internet access and reliable transportation.
