Are you a college student looking for a part-time job during the school year? Wildsight is looking for a Communications & Development Intern to work with us during the school year in our Kimberley office.

- Data entry & database maintenance
- Helping with event logistics
- Fundraising mailouts
- Donor communications
- General office assistance
Desired qualifications:
