About the Organization: Roundtable is the national association of Catholic diocesan social action directors and their staff providing professional support to members through education, formation, professional relationships, and management development.

Each year, Roundtable hosts a Social Action Summer Institute (SASI) for its members. Recent topics covered at SASI have included Addressing Poverty, the Dignity of Work, Peacebuilding for the 21st Century, Economic Justice, Racial Reconciliation, and Restorative Justice, as well as numerous skills-building workshops.

Internship Position: This intern will assist the program coordinator in the implementation of our organization's first ever in-person retreat taking place at the Seminary of the Immaculate Conception in Huntington, NY from July 14-18, 2025. While the internship is primarily virtual, in-person participation at the retreat would be required.  The intern will be responsible for creating promotional material to be used across a variety of mediums, the majority of which are online, to achieve two primary goals: maximize participation for the retreat and raise greater awareness of the organization's new name and focus.  This intern should be comfortable using Google Drive, Canva, and Constant Contact to achieve these goals.
