YF Internship:

Project name: TEPSIE

The Young Foundation is working on an exciting three year research project looking at social innovation in Europe, and we’re looking for an intern to support us over the next three months.

Our team is small and collaborative (three researchers) so you should enjoy working with others and sharing your ideas, but you’ll need to be comfortable working independently too. Ideally you’ll have a strong academic background in the social sciences – an interdisciplinary degree would be fantastic, but isn’t necessary. You’ll have great research, writing and analytical skills, a keen interest in how to effect social change, and of course, strong organisational skills.

Your role is likely to include a wide range of tasks including: conducting literature reviews, researching and writing case studies, monitoring the policy environment and blogging. Your work with us will directly contribute to the outputs of this project and whoever joins us will get a strong grounding in the emerging field of social innovation, as well as great exposure to the Young Foundation’s work overall.
