The Magnes is a museum of art and history focused on the Jewish experience. The Museum demonstrates a commitment to both tradition and experimentation through wide-ranging collections, original exhibitions, provocative programs, and research facilities, including the largest history center relating to the Jews in the American West. The Magnes is a place of discovery for Jews and the community at large, and contributes to international scholarship and culture

Major priorities in 2009 at the Magnes are to build membership, increase visibility, and develop broad-based community interest that will support the museum’s planned move to a new facility in downtown Berkeley. The Wellesley intern will have the opportunity to work with an experienced and enthusiastic team of museum professionals, supporting the museum’s mission and objectives at this exciting time as the Magnes plans its expansion into its new location in the burgeoning Downtown Berkeley Art & Theater District. The museum’s planned expansion will give the museum additional space for exhibitions and educational programming.

Wokai
LUCE China – Beijing

Organization Description:

Wokai is a capital-contributing microfinance intermediary in the China microfinance field. Wokai is specifically committed to raising loan capital for microfinance institutions (MFIs) in China. Our organization achieves this goal through creating an internet platform that empowers individual contributors to provide Chinese microentrepreneurs with loan capital. To facilitate this capital transfer, Wokai partners with local MFIs that are responsible for both dispersing capital and monitoring microentrepreneurs.

Utilizing the power of the internet, Wokai reaches out to individual contributors, a funding source generally inaccessible on the large scale to non-profit organizations operating in China. This unique approach allows Wokai to provide new capital resources to the microfinance sector, thereby expanding financial opportunities for the poor in China.

Internship Description:

The successful candidate will work with Wokai Directors of Public Relations and Business Development on Wokai’s public relations and fundraising campaigns. As such, the Wokai Communications Intern will play an integral part in developing Wokai’s public image and raising a base of funds to sustain the organization into the future. The candidate will work with the Director of Public Relations to research and contact media throughout the US and Beijing and write press releases on Wokai and the organization’s initiatives. The candidate will also work with Wokai Director of Business Development in researching corporations and foundations and writing grant proposals to raise a body of funds to sustain the first two years of operations.
