Empower Peace 240 Commercial St.

Women and girls play a critical role in advancing both peace and development.

 

Research shows that families, communities and nations prosper when girls have the opportunity to participate fully in every aspect of society. Empower Peace’s Women2Women International Leadership Program (W2W) builds a network of promising young women (ages 15-19) from around the globe, engages them in the issues that define their lives and provides them with the tools, relationships and opportunities required to lead.

APPLICATION DEADLINE: April 1 AT 5 PM EST

 

Our expectations for you:

 

Your top responsibilities include being a staff member, dorm supervisor, team leader and role model!

- As an intern, you are considered a staff member, so we ask that you act professional, responsible and respectful at all times, setting an example for your delegates.

- We plan to team each of you up with a group of delegates. You will be expected to meet with them each day to review the day, answer questions and make sure they are on track with their action

plans. Share your experience and action plans. Your involvement and participation will no doubt be invaluable! You are welcome to participate in the workshops. We do have some new workshops planned this year.

- We will have staff on each floor at Wheelock College.  You will be responsible for making sure

that everyone is on campus by curfew. Participants are responsible for cleaning up after themselves so please be sure that they do.

-  You are our eyes and ears! If someone is having a problem, feeling ill or simply not understanding the content, please let us know. We want everyone to get the most out of this program. Participants are reluctant to speak with EP senior staff. They are often worried that they are "bothering us"-- please assure them that they are not! We are there to help.

- We are a team...Your input is valuable. If you have suggestions, problems or you are just plain exhausted, let Tricia, Kari, or Molly know. Lastly, throughout the week, we need to know where everyone is at all times. If you leave campus, be sure to let us know.

 

What you can expect from us:

 

- We will be so happy and grateful to have you with us! We will do our very best to make sure you are enjoying yourselves and getting the most out of this leadership/experience

- This position is an incredible opportunity to gain skills in leadership, management, organization, creativity and problem-solving. We know you will wow us!

 

Compensation and fees:

 

- This is an unpaid position. The only costs you are responsible for is your airfare or transportation, and visa fees, if applicable. We will cover the cost of your housing and meals, just like when you were a participant
