Description

In the midst of shrinking education budgets, Behind the Book (BtheB) offers NYC students a refreshingly creative and empowering experience. We bring authors and their books into individual classrooms to build literacy skills and create a community of life-long readers and writers. Authors teach a series of workshops that engage and inspire students and culminate in the publication of a writing project, such as an illustrated book, a school newspaper, or a short story anthology.

Behind the Book interns are essential in supporting a growing organization, and gain valuable skills and experience in project management and nonprofit work. The Development Intern will work closely with the Director of Development to manage all aspects of the organization's fundraising and program evaluation.
