About us
We’re a global network of exceptional young achievers under 30. Our members have already in their twenties a significant impact on the world by running businesses, building social ventures, leading organizations or creating art. We carefully select them, bring them together, and help them make bigger things happen. As a community we help large organizations to find atypical solutions for complex problems. The rest of this website will tell you more ;-)
The adventure: what the internship is about
There are so many exciting things happen to Sandbox in the US, we’re exploding. And we need your help to make these ambitious plans happen ;-)
• Help us grow the Sandbox Network in the US in all aspects of community management. Support our members by connecting them with other members or senior leaders worldwide, screening new applicants and helping them to find the right resources within our network.
• Plan and execute NYC and East Coast focused Sandbox activities and events.
• Help us build up the Sandbox content team that produces insightful stories about young innovators and their ideas worldwide.
• Support us with client work and trend research.
• Regularly brainstorm crazy ideas with Fabian and Paul over Coffee on how to take over the world.
The hero: who we’re looking for
We’re looking for an ambitious young New Yorker who loves to make things happen as much as we do. The job requires that you have a strong interest in meeting people, connecting people, organizing events and leading projects. Communication is key and ideally you love writing and are good at simply explaining complex messages.
Overall we prefer passionate people to great CVs / good grades. We are looking for someone who got bored by the traditional internship experience, rather wants to take responsibility, has an entrepreneurial mind and is not afraid of working hard ;-) The formal expectations are simple: we ask you to invest at least 8 hours per week over the next 6 months and live in New York. You are free to work from our office or remotely. We ideally look for someone who can start now ;-)
The treasure: what we offer
This position is unpaid in its traditional sense but priceless in terms of experience, inspiration, fun and network. By working with us, we’ll open you the door to an exceptional network of young people who will shake the world in a few years and to the senior leaders that we interact with every day. And we promise that by beeing around people who make their dreams happen you’ll be inspired just as much as we are. Last but not least we wll try hard to make work fun and an exceptional learning experience. Plus we’ll buy you very strong Espresso and will make you eat more Swiss Chocolate than you can handle ;-)

If you’re motivated to invest at least 8 hours per week over the next 6 months, live in New York and are up for the adventure described above, contact Fabian Pfortmuller, co-founder of Sandbox and Head of the US activities, drop him a line (fabian [at] sandbox-network.com) and tell us more about you.

If it’s free, why limit to only one person?

Denis, in principal agreed, we definitely have more than enough work for several people. The question I need to figure out is if I can provide an excellent learning environment for several people. I definitely can for one, maybe two. Would be great if you could help us spread the word and thanks for the inputs!

I am currently a student at Loyola University in Maryland and have a great interest in social ventures. Having just completed a social entrepreneurship class, I have developed a great deal of interest in creating social value, while at the same time doing so through a for-profit model that will enable to company to prosper. I would love to hear more about the details of the internship. Please e-mail me if you would like my resume, or any other qualifications.
Thank you.
