SNF Athens Internship
The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Centre for Hellenic Studies is pleased to be able to offer an internship opportunity to a qualified student at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation in Athens, Greece - one of the world’s leading private international philanthropic organizations.
What is the SNF Athens internship?
The Stavros Niarchos Foundation offers a limited number of internships to qualified candidates interested in exploring the world of philanthropy and not-for-profit organizations. Interns gain insight into the operations of a philanthropic organization and get hands-on experience with the work of different grantees working in the areas of arts and culture; social welfare; education; and health and medicine.
The internship occurs in the Fall at the Foundation’s offices in Athens, Greece from September 13th – December 3rd. While knowledge of the Greek language is helpful, it is not required, as the work of the intern is performed in English. A modest stipend is provided.
Do I qualify?
Candidates must possess strong written and oral communications skills in English, as well as computer skills, and the ability to work in a flexible and fast-paced environment. Demonstrated tact and mature judgement is also expected. High academic achievement and volunteer experience will also be highly regarded. While the competition is open to all SFU undergraduate students, preference will be given to students enrolled in the Hellenic Studies Certificate program. The final decision for entry in the program, rests with the Stavros Niarchos Foundation.
