Childhood Cancer Society (CCS) is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting families battling pediatric cancer both financially and emotionally. Through fundraising events, wish-grant experiences, and community partnerships, CCS brings hope, joy, and meaningful moments to children and families when they need it most—led by our official spokes-bear, Adventure Ted.
Childhood Cancer Society is seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Events & Community Engagement Intern to join our growing Events Department. This internship offers hands-on experience supporting nonprofit fundraising events, community outreach, and wish-grant reveals across the country.
