Project Details

What we need
  • Assist in the coordination, implementation and evaluation of activities related to the execution of the social justice fellowship, alumni outreach and community outreach programmatic activities.
  • Keep abreast with relevant policy developments in Hong Kong/deliberations in the public eye, assisting in scouting opportunities for fellows and alumni and communicating with them about opportunities for engagement.
  • Conduct literature reviews on different elements of community empowerment and human rights education theory and do research to track and take stock of best practice in human rights education programs in other country contexts.
  • Support organization-wide activities, such as Social Justice Fellowship Program, community outreach, planning and strategic meetings, represent Resolve externally where appropriate, participate in team meetings and staff-wide functions and events.
Background

Hong Kong is a vibrant and diverse place, but it is also the most unequal city in the developed world; many groups persist in a vicious cycle of disempowerment. We envision an inclusive Hong Kong where every voice has a say in its future and every person has the power to bring positive change to their community. We provide fellowships to emerging leaders from marginalized and underrepresented communities to empower them to be change-makers and social catalysts.

What we have

nterns will gain first-hand knowledge of the challenges and opportunities of working in the charity sector. They will gain experience in the ins and outs of nonprofit management. Being a small organization, interns will have the opportunity to make meaningful contributions that allow them to showcase their skills and leave the internship with tangible achievements. Interns will strengthen their knowledge of human rights, diversity and inclusion and social justice issues in Hong Kong. Interns will also receive guided professional development. The internship provides a daily meal stipend of 60 HKD as well as reimbursement for travel.

Why this is important

By joining the team, you will be providing us with invaluable support to deliver our groundbreaking programs and contributing to making Hong Kong a more inclusive place.

What we do

Our Mission: We exist to inspire, empower and connect emerging leaders to bring about inclusive social change. Our Vision: We believe in a Hong Kong where everyone is heard and can take everyday action for their community. Our Values: Rights, Equality, Solidarity, Organization, Leadership, Voice and Empowerment. Our Community: Our people and partners come from diverse sectors and backgrounds. We are stronger together. Our Organization: In May 2017, Resolve was founded with one question in mind: in an age of increasing polarization and intolerance, how can we build more inclusive and accepting societies? We believe the answer rests with communities themselves, harnessing their own power to bring about positive social change.
