Outstanding Internship Opportunity
Undergraduates, Grad Students, and Graduates (including OPT) are Welcome
The New York Times called ChangingThePresent.org an “amazon.com of the nonprofit world.” We help channel to schools and nonprofits some of the $450 billion Americans spend each year buying birthday, wedding, and holiday presents. We do this by making the experience of a donation, given in a friend’s name, feel like a rewarding gift and an appealing alternative to giving yet more "stuff."
We let visitors support any type of resource for any school or teacher in the country. Support K-12 education, STEM education, art or music education, etc.
We also offer thousands of opportunities from hundreds of leading nonprofits.
Wish lists and registries let you share your dreams for a better world. Personalized greeting cards make a charitable gift especially memorable. Gift cards let your friends support the things they care about.

Overview of the Project Opportunity
Be part of a national movement to channel essential new funds to schools and nonprofits--some of the billions of dollars that would normally be spent on birthday, wedding, and holiday presents.
The Problem this Project Addresses
We address every charitable cause. This specific posting is for our focus on K-12 Education. Quite simply, schools do not have enough funding to provide the resources students need to succeed. You can help change that.
Your Professional Focus or Your Favorite Cause
We seek high-achievers to focus on their professional / academic field (HR, organizational psychology, marketing, communications, celebrities, social media, technology, design, research, etc.) or their favorite cause (Education or any other cause, including hunger, environment, women, children, education, STEM education, health, etc.).
Unprecedented Opportunities for Responsibility and Leadership
Our interns get more responsibility than they will anywhere else. You will never run a copy machine, file papers, or fetch coffee here, as you might at so many other organizations. Instead, you will work in small teams and take a leadership role.
You Benefit
We want all our interns and volunteers to get the following from the experience here:
- Make a tremendous positive impact in the world.
- Use your skills, experience, knowledge, creativity and talent.
- Assume responsibility and take a leadership role.
- Learn a tremendous amount.
- Work with people from around the world in a diverse and supportive environment, and have a great time.
- Enhance your resume with a record of achievement and community service.
The Impact of this Project
Imagine the impact on children when they get the resources they need to learn and succeed.
