Mitacs Accelerate Research-based Internship – AI, Digital Marketing, and Innovation for Nonprofits

Join Charity Rocket and be part of a dynamic team transforming the nonprofit world with cutting-edge digital strategies!

About the role

At Charity Rocket, we help nonprofits grow their digital presence and propel their impact by supporting their vision and mission (environmental protection, poverty reduction, women’s support, immigration and refugee services, and so much more).

We’re an agile team that loves testing out new ideas and turning opportunities into concrete projects. We strongly believe in autonomy, initiative, and straightforward, authentic human connections.

Today, we’re looking to collaborate with a Master’s student who wants to use their research to create solutions with a real, on-the-ground impact.

This internship will be conducted through the Mitacs Accelerate program.

  • Full-time

  • 100% remote work

What Makes This Internship Different

 

With us, your project won’t just be purely theoretical, written down on paper, and quickly forgotten. We’re looking for someone who can explore, test, and analyze to create new business opportunities (services, internal tools) for us and the nonprofits we support.

You’ll get access to a real agency, real-world challenges, and a team that truly believes in ambitious ideas.

We love proactive people who take initiative, pitch solutions, and are driven to make things happen. Simply put, we want your internship to benefit your academic journey, but also to have a tangible impact on the Charity Rocket community.

Working with us means you’ll get:

  • A flexible schedule and 100% remote work
  • Mentorship and hands-on guidance
  • A supportive and collaborative work environment
  • Fast-paced experimentation to bring your ideas to life

Are We a Good Fit?

 

We are particularly interested in collaborating with those who share our enthusiasm for the following topics and are motivated to develop their research projects within these areas:

  • Applied Artificial Intelligence
  • Digital Marketing
  • User Experience (UX/UI)
  • Tech tools for nonprofits
  • APIs, scraping, and integrations
  • New ways to leverage technology for real-world impact

But honestly, if you see an opportunity we haven’t yet thought of that could be valuable to our mission, and your research, we definitely want to hear about it.

You’re the ideal person if you are currently enrolled in a Master’s program, you love brainstorming just as much as building, and you’re curious, autonomous, and resourceful. It’s even better if you naturally take the lead, love continuous learning, and always stay on top of the latest trends.

Before You Apply

 

Mitacs projects take several months to plan and prepare. If you’re excited about teaming up with Charity Rocket, we encourage you to reach out to us early in your process (ideally before you choose your professor or officially submit your application). We want to co-create this project with you right from the start.

Also, keep in mind that we’re flexible on timing. Whether you’re planning your project for the summer, fall, or winter, we’re completely open to discussing what works best for you.

So… are you ready for takeoff? 🚀

To apply: Fill out our form, attach your resume and show us your idea or research interests in whatever format you like (cover letter, document, video, PowerPoint, prototype, etc.). The format is entirely up to you, we just want to see what gets YOU excited!
