Role Title: Program Impact Intern
Organisation: Lionheart Camp for Kids
Internship Period: Semester 2 (July – October)
Location: Malaga
As a Program Impact Intern with Lionheart Camp for Kids (Lionheart), you will play a vital role in evaluating the impact of our community programs that support children through grief. Working closely with the leadership team, you will analyse data collected from pre- and post-program questionnaires to assess the effectiveness of our initiatives. Your work will involve data entry, analysis, and reporting, all providing critical insights into how our programs are helping children and families. You’ll also have the unique opportunity to attend one of our weekend programs to observe its impact first-hand, connect with volunteers and participants, and enhance your understanding of the outcomes we strive to achieve. This role is ideal for students with an interest in social impact, psychology, community development, or data analysis, and offers a meaningful way to contribute to real-world change.
Our vision is that no child should grieve alone. We know that good bereavement care minimises the long-term adverse consequences for children, such as poorer outcomes in education, employment, physical and mental health. We aim to do this through:
• Helping children and parents understand the process of grief
• Normalising the grief process for children
• Helping children identify with a spectrum of emotions associated with the death of a parent or sibling
• Sharing and expressing emotions in a healthy way
• Providing the opportunity to connect with other children experiencing the death of a sibling or parent
• Strengthening parents’ knowledge and skills in how to support their grieving children
