What are the responsibilities and job description for the Intern position at National Community Reinvestment Corporation?
The Health Equity & Impact team at NCRC serves to increase access to public health information utilized by our member community development organizations, support those members in building stronger place-based investment & advocacy coalitions, and conduct research and publications that build a stronger foundation towards those two goals.
