AGO welcomes partners, fellows, and interns to contribute skills or deepen their experience in social movements, democracy building, and human rights.
Partnership program
Most people can't afford to work full-time in the nonprofit sector, but many crave more purpose in their work lives. Offering employees the opportunity to work on meaningful causes is a unique and compelling perk at a time when recruiting and retention are tough.
Engage at a level that works for you
Advise
Expert advisors help guide AGO’s work by sharing expertise, contributing ideas, reviewing work, and overseeing projects.
We’re currently looking for advisors in design, comms and PR, storytelling, emerging tech, and more.
Collaborate
Employees participate in brainstorm sessions at critical moments. This is a great way to get whole teams involved. Partners can participate on an as-available basis.
Endow
Partner creates a year-long role at AGO and commits to staffing it. Seats can be endowed as a gift or in celebration of milestones and should align with the company’s core competencies and mission.
Rotate
Employees rotate onto AGO full-time—for 90 days, six months, nine months, or a year—while still being paid their full salary and benefits by their employer. This provides an invaluable opportunity for them to delve deeply into work for nonprofit clients.
Internship program
AGO welcomes interns year-round. We proudly partner with Kenyon College to offer internships in comms and strategy.
