Sample cover letter for Internship position at forum asia

To whom it May be Concerned:

I am writing in response to the Development and Outreach (Women’s Rights) Department internship position that was advertised through The Human Rights Watch website. After carefully reviewing the responsibilities of the position, I am confident that my dedication to nonprofit work, academic interest and professional experience will ensure my ability to succeed at a professional, meticulous setting such as that of the department.

I have excellent administrative and organizational skills and the ability to work both independently and with a group as evidenced by my experience working as the Co-Marketing Director of Feel-good at Columbia University. Feel Good is national student run social movement and 501(c)(3) nonprofit in partner with the Hunger Project. The Columbia University chapter creates and delivers grilled cheeses to students on campus weekly in addition to catering events on campus and throughout the city to raise awareness and funds for the Hunger Project. As the Co-Marketing Director, I am a member of the executive board, and a forerunner of creating promotions and campus relationships to promote not only Feel Good’s presence on campus, but awareness of poverty, chronic hunger, women’s equality, sustainability, and other related issues. Since being promoted to this position in January, I have increased Feel Good’s social media presence by one fifth, and sales have increased dramatically through a variety of new promotions. I personally work closely with the Treasurer and the Social chair to make inferences based on social media, and sales stats, in order to develop further marketing promotions. I have also created and coordinated a marketing team to help me implement the ideas the other Co-Marketing Manager and I have developed.

Furthermore, as a prospective Political Economy major minoring in Applied Math, I am extremely interested in developing hands on professional experience in both a development and outreach department as well as at an international human rights organization. In addition to international development and service, I have an academic interest in policy and business. My previous experience with the nonprofit, Sustainable Harvest International (SHI) has created and fomented my current passion for international development. Since 2006, I have been working with SHI, a nonprofit that helps impoverished farming families throughout Central America by teaching local field trainers sustainable farming techniques while helping the environment.

I have had experience as both a volunteer in an international setting, as an outreach volunteer. In addition to being a member of the Columbia University Students for Human Rights club, I have also taken relevant coursework such as United States Government and Politics, International Politics, Principles of Economics, Ethnicity and Social Transformation, and Women and Culture. Finally, as a student at a women’s college in New York City, I have been given the opportunity to be introduced to women leaders and gender equality in a focused and inspiring light. I especially have a strong bond and interest in women’s rights issues. As an events planner with the Emerging Leaders Program, the Co-Marketing manager of Feel Good, and given my previous position as an outreach volunteer with Sustainable Harvest International and an intern at the Superior Court of Providence’s clerk’s office, I have the previous experience, and interest for this position.

Finally, I am an extremely dedicated and passionate person. I would be honored to receive an internship
