This internship is a great opportunity for you to use your communication, analysis, and research skills and gain practical experience about marketing within the nonprofit sector. As well, this internship is a collaborative project as you will be working closely with your fellow interns and Idealist staff.

Hi there --We here at B-Word/Bitch are looking for some highly motivated, creative folks who are passionate about nonprofit/feminist media (and sustaining it!) to join our Board of Directors.  Might that be you? Or do you know someone? Read on... B-Word is a Portland-based nonprofit, independent, feminist media organization critiquing pop culture/media best known for publishing the magazine "Bitch: Feminist Response to Pop Culture," but we're currently evolving into a multimedia organization. We've also just started strategic planning/visioning efforts -- which means that while it's a time of heavy work (10-15 hours a month), it's also an incredibly exciting time to get involved and help shape B-Word's future.
