A Wedding and Bridal Internship / Volunteer Role

​A Wedding and Bridal Internship / Volunteer Role that Makes a Difference! 

Love the wedding and bridal sector? Want to make the world a better place? You found the right place.

More and more couples care more about making the world a better place than about receiving one more gravy boat. They are creating charitable wedding registries to encourage friends to make donations in their name in lieu of buying more “stuff.”

 

“Donations in lieu of wedding favors are gaining popularity.”

                  – CNN

 

“Instead of giving favors. . . a donation to their favorite charity"                            

 – Kara Corridan, Exec Editor of Modern Bride Magazine

 

The New York Times called ChangingThePresent.org an “amazon.com of the nonprofit world” for our work in helping leading nonprofits capture some of the money normally spent on traditional presents. We do that by making the experience of a donation, given in a friend’s name, feel like a rewarding gift.

Imagine the impact we can make together as more and more people adopt this type of meaningful giving.

Wedding registries account for $20 billion a year in presents, so this is an important opportunity for us.

 

You can help us raise awareness and encourage this type of giving. We will be reaching out to wedding magazines, websites, blogs, planners, photographers, designers, social media leaders, YouTube stars, and others connected to the wedding market.

 

·   Use your skills, experience, knowledge, creativity and talent to connect with the wedding industry and make the world a better place.

·   Help us capture for nonprofits some of the $450 billion Americans spend each year buying presents.

·   Become a member of our dynamic and creative international team, and become a leader among those who care for the same causes as you do.

·   Help us grow a movement to facilitate and encourage a new type of meaningful giving.

·   Work from our Manhattan office or remotely.

·   Enhance your resume and get a glowing letter of recommendation.

 

​You can also focus on your favorite cause, or category (religion, ethnic, city, or country)

We are also recruiting interns to focus on each specific cause. Please share this opportunity with your friends, whatever their interest.
