About the Internship

The Kiva Internship Program offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the nonprofit, technology, and microfinance sectors.

This is a part-time, remote internship based in the U.S. A modest stipend of $800/month is provided to help offset living costs. Interns are expected to commit 24–32 hours per week for the full 6-month period.

As the Project Manager Intern for the RTP team, you will play a vital role in supporting volunteers, improving internal processes, and assisting with recruitment and community engagement.
