Catalyst Now is inviting applications for a Collaborations Communications Intern (Volunteer) to support its global social innovation movement. The opportunity is suited to individuals interested in communications, collaboration, social innovation and global development who want practical experience supporting an international network.
Catalyst Now, formerly known as Catalyst 2030, describes itself as a global movement for social innovation connecting thousands of social innovators and organisations across countries and sectors.
The organisation’s Secretariat coordinates the movement’s logistics and operations and provides support for activities that enable members and partners to collaborate and advance their work.
About Catalyst Now
Catalyst Now brings together social innovators ranging from grassroots initiatives to philanthropic organisations. Its network focuses on collaborative approaches to addressing social and development challenges, including climate change, inequality, health, livelihoods and other Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The Collaborations Communications Intern will join this broader international environment and contribute to the communications work supporting collaboration within the movement.
