Intern/Volunteer at Foundation for Sustainable Development
Argentina
I am interested in a position in the area of accounting or finance, or that would utilize my economics and mathematics background. Ideally the position that would be permanently located in the Kansas City metropolitan area with the opportunity to travel internationally, however, I am also willing to relocate to major metropolitan areas.
I would love to work for an organization that deals with microfinance, sustainable development or international economic development. I would also be interested in working for a large corporation that works internationally, that may entail international travel or relocation, particularly to Latin American countries.
