Administrative Services Intern - Summer 2026

The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation is one of the nation's largest independent foundations. The Foundation boldly invests in creative solutions to urgent challenges, sparking hope for our future.

The Administrative Services team plans, manages, coordinates, and directs support services to ensure the success of the day-to-day operations of the Foundation and the Marquette Building. This customer service- and detailed-oriented team provides a high level of support and seeks creative and effective programs, services, and solutions that foster a supportive, well-run, and efficient working environment.

The Administrative Services Intern will gain hands-on experience in nonprofit administration and facilities management by supporting the day-to-day operations of the MacArthur Foundation and the Marquette Building. This internship provides exposure to event planning, office operations, sustainability research, and cross-departmental collaboration.

Event Planning & Engagement :

  • Plan and coordinate an end-of-summer event (such as a scavenger hunt or lunch-and-learn) to showcase the role and responsibilities of Administrative Services
  • Develop event materials, communications, and logistics to engage staff across the Foundation

Administrative Services Operations :

  • Learn and assist with core functions, including furniture inventory, design finishes, evacuation and emergency planning, the travel program, and other office support services
  • Support general office operations such as mail delivery, stocking pantry and production room supplies, and managing the virtual reception system for guest greetings
  • Sustainability & Research :

  • Research Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification requirements
  • Conduct a case study evaluating the cost-benefit of LEED standards for the Marquette Building and the Foundation
  • Prepare and present findings to inform organizational decision-making
  • Qualifications :

  • Interest in nonprofit management, business administration, facilities, or sustainability
  • Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to work collaboratively and manage multiple priorities
  • Attention to detail and willingness to learn new systems and processes
  • Strong customer service skills are a must
  • Work in the office four days a week
  • This internship is based in Chicago, Illinois. Our work environment is hybrid with designated in-office days and virtual days. Interns will be required to reside in the Chicagoland area for the duration of the program. Housing assistance for non-local students may be available and will be discussed during the interview process.

    The application deadline is SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2025 AT 11 : 59 PM. Applicants should submit a cover letter and resume. As a requirement, students "must be returning back to school" to be eligible. Students meeting the minimum requirements should apply through the MacArthur Foundation website.
