Interested in new media and collective intelligence? Wonder what its really like to launch a social enterprise? Want to make a difference in corporate behavior? The private sector has phenomenal power to change the world, for good or for ill. Many of our most pressing societal issues are profoundly impacted by the private sector: pollution and global warming; economic opportunities for women and minorities; labor practices in developing countries; special interest lobbying and campaign financing. As consumers, we often fail to reward companies with strong performance on these issues or punish companies with poor performance. We have the leverage to change business incentives, but not the information. Fosfo is a movement to illuminate business behavior. We empower folks to shine a light on any companys behavior: social or environmental, local or global, naughty or nice. We organize the information into company scores that consumers can customize to match their own values. And we make it easy for consumers to compare those scores while they shop. Imagine scanning a barcode with your mobile phone to instantly see a company score that reflects your personal priorities: global warming, sweatshops, equal opportunity, lobbying, philanthropy or dozens of other issues. Fosfo is a 501c3 nonprofit organization incubated at the Harvard Kennedy School and sponsored by Echoing Green. Fosfo makes it easy for anyone to review any companys behavior. Our reviewers we call them fosfolks share a five-star rating and brief rationale, usually focused on one issue. Sometimes a review is based on a personal experience with a company, such as a consumer excited about an organic menu or an employee upset about safety violations. Other times reviews are based on secondary sources, such as a documentary, newspaper article or research report. We measure each review by the number of peer fosfolks who find it persuasive, so persuasive fosfolks have a higher impact on the companys final score. Join our team as a Community Development Intern. Help organize local events to attract and motivate our fosfolks. Conduct research on corporate behavior and blog about it on our site. Build new company profiles for our fosfolks to review. Help us develop our outreach strategy. Expand our presence on Facebook and Twitter. Immerse yourself in our unique culture of new media and social enterprise. The intern will join our Executive Director and other interns in our office a few steps from Metro Center in Washington DC. You can view a full description of the internship at: http://www.fosfo.org/system/files/16/original/Community_Development_Intern_Fosfo.pdf You can learn more about us by visiting www.fosfo.org. Consumers can make an enormous difference with the right tools. Join us in our mission to empower them!

Our company is truly a collective of various aspects within the real estate industry carrying out a full spectrum of task associated with the purchase, sell and rent of real property, REO's & Non performing Note transactions, wholesaling, wholetailing, and other creative transactions and techniques.
