About the Organization

The Salvation Army is an international movement and an evangelical part of the universal Christian Church. Its mission is to meet human needs without discrimination. National Headquarters (NHQ) supports the work of The Salvation Army across the United States and internationally by providing leadership, resources, and strategic support to territorial and local operations.

ABOUT SAWSO

The Salvation Army (TSA) operates in 134 countries around the globe serving vulnerable communities. The Salvation Army World Service Office (SAWSO), along with other supporting offices (SOs), play a key role in this global effort, serving as the U.S.-based arm in supporting high-impact international assistance tailored to meet local needs in communities around the world. Guided by our mission to meet human needs without discrimination, we work alongside local partners to provide food, shelter, healthcare, education, and emergency relief to individuals and families facing poverty, displacement, and crisis.

Key Responsibilities

The intern will support SAWSO’s disaster preparedness work through the following responsibilities:

Conduct desk research on best practices in international disaster preparedness, anticipatory action, disaster risk reduction, and strengthening community-based disaster response.

Review internal project documents, proposals, training materials, and case examples from Salvation Army disaster preparedness and response projects, including emerging work in South Africa and the Philippines.

Research approaches to prepositioning emergency relief items, including considerations for stock selection, storage, replenishment, distribution readiness, and accountability.

Support learning around anticipatory action, including how early warning information, preparedness triggers, and pre-agreed plans can support faster action before a disaster’s full impact is felt.

Help organize and synthesize information into accessible learning products, including briefs, slide decks, infographics, guidance notes, and field-friendly templates.

Collaborate with SAWSO technical advisors and international emergency services colleagues to ensure materials are practical, relevant, and grounded in real-world field experience.

Provide administrative and coordination support for preparedness-related meetings, trainings, workshops, or learning sessions as needed.

Support other disaster relief and recovery portfolio tasks as assigned.
