The National Association of Affordable Housing Lenders (NAAHL) represents America’s lenders in moving private capital to those in need – organizations committed to increasing lending and investing private capital in low- and moderate-income (LMI) communities. This "who’s who" of private sector lenders and investors includes major banks, blue-chip non-profit lenders, consortia, CDFIs, and others in the vanguard of affordable housing. Interns will work side by side with association professionals as they advance NAAHL’s mission.
NAAHL seeks a college/university student who is interested in a Fall semester 2012, part-time internship. The internship will be for approximately four months (September-December), depending on the student’s academic schedule. The intern’s daily schedule can be flexible within normal business hours, Monday – Friday. The internship is located in Washington, D.C. and is unpaid. A public transit stipend is offered for the duration of the internship, and we will work to ensure student receives academic credit, if desired. While the internship may be of special interest to business, economics, journalism, and political science majors, all students are welcome to apply.
The intern will work closely with NAAHL staff on a number of tasks that will help advance their careers. Previous summer interns have assisted in writing memos, attended Congressional hearings and industry meetings, and helped conduct online research projects.
Other intern duties include:
· Compiling data in Excel spreadsheets
· Filing/data entry
· Front desk coverage, including answering the phones and greeting guests
· Other duties as assigned
Applicants should have excellent written and oral communication skills and ability to work independently on multiple projects. Good judgment and significant knowledge of Microsoft Office including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint is also a must. Other technical skills, including multimedia and social media are a plus but not required. This is a great opportunity for those interested in learning more about trade associations!
