CFHI offers volunteer and internship opportunities working alongside our staff in San Francisco- a great opportunity to learn about all aspects of running an international nonprofit! Visit Great Nonprofits to read what our volunteers and program alumni have to say about our work.
For Interns, we require a time commitment of 20 hours per week for a minimum of 3 months. For volunteers we ask that you commit to a minimum of 4 hours per week for 3 months or more. All positions are unpaid, though we do offer a small stipend for interns to help cover commuting costs. CFHI encourages applicants from the San Francisco Bay Area as we require in-person interviews and do not cover re-location expenses.
