Grant Research & Storytelling Intern – 1 spot open

Location: Hybrid (north Atlanta & remote)

Pay: $12.00/hour

Duration: June 15, 2026 – July 31, 2026

Hours: 20–30 hours per week

The Opportunity
Are you a writer who loves a good “deep dive”? Do you believe that data is important, but a compelling story is what truly moves people to action? We are looking for a curious, articulate, and highly organized college intern to join our team this summer.

This isn’t a “get-the-coffee” internship. You will be a core part of our development efforts, helping us secure the funding necessary to fuel our mission. You’ll walk away with tangible portfolio pieces, a deep understanding of the nonprofit/funding landscape, and experience in professional grant management.

What You’ll Do
We have a busy summer planned! You will dive into a few key projects, focusing on:

The Hunt: Researching new funding opportunities from foundations, corporations, and government agencies that align with our specific mission.

The Narrative: Assisting in drafting “Letters of Inquiry” (LOIs) and grant proposals. You’ll help us turn our impact data into stories that resonate with donors.

The Library: Helping organize our “grant boilerplate”—a library of our best stories, statistics, and program descriptions to make future applications more efficient.

The Calendar: Managing deadlines and ensuring all supplemental materials (tax forms, board lists, etc.) are polished and ready for submission.

Requirements
Current enrollment in a college program (English, Communications, Nonprofit Management, Journalism, or related fields preferred).

Strong proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word/Excel) and Google Workspace.

Ability to work independently while staying communicative with a remote/hybrid team.

We are looking for someone who is:
A Storyteller: You can take a set of facts and weave them into a narrative that is both professional and moving.

A “Super-Sleuth”: You enjoy the challenge of digging through a foundation’s 990 forms or website to find the “hook” that connects their goals to ours.

Detail-Oriented: You’re the person who catches the typo in the last paragraph and makes sure the margins are exactly right.

Growth-Minded: You aren’t afraid to ask questions. You want to learn why we approach donors a certain way and how to improve your professional writing.

FinTech Education (FinTechEd) Implementation Intern

Location: Hybrid (North Atlanta & Remote) Pay: $12.00/hour

Duration: Mid-June – July 31st (Approx. 6–7 weeks)

Hours: 30 hours per week

The Opportunity

Are you a tech-savvy creator who loves organized systems? Wealthy Habits is evolving the way we deliver financial literacy to youth, and we need an intern to help setup the platform.

Instead of just teaching financial concepts, you will be the “Product Architect” for our new digital delivery platform. You will help us select, set up, and optimize a third-party software solution that ensures our programs are consistent, engaging, and scalable. This is a high-impact project where you will see your work go “live” and reach students immediately.

What You’ll Do

  • Platform Build-Out: Take our existing financial literacy curriculum and translate it into a third-party digital platform.

  • User Experience (UX) Design: Organize lessons, quizzes, and resources so they are intuitive and visually appealing for students and instructors.

  • Systems Integration: Ensure the platform allows for the “flexibility and consistency” we need to run multiple programs simultaneously.

  • Quality Assurance: Rigorously test the student journey within the software to catch bugs, formatting errors, or confusing navigation before we launch.

  • Creative Problem Solving: Identify ways to use the software’s native features to make financial education more interactive and “sticky” for a younger audience.

Who You Are

  • Tech-Intuitive: You aren’t necessarily a coder, but you pick up new software in minutes. You enjoy “tinkering” with settings to make a tool work exactly how you want.

  • Highly Organized: You think in structures and hierarchies. You know how to categorize information so it’s easy for others to find and use.

  • Detail-Obsessed: You notice when a font is off-brand, a link is broken, or a margin is uneven. You take pride in a polished final product.

  • Creative Content Builder: You can look at a flat piece of educational content and imagine how to make it more dynamic within a digital environment.

Requirements

  • Current enrollment in a college program (Business, Education Technology, Computer Science, Marketing, or related fields).

  • Experience with CMS platforms (like WordPress), LMS platforms (like Canvas/Teachable), or advanced project management tools is a plus.

  • A strong interest in financial literacy and its impact on the next generation.
