BALLE believes that national and global prosperity begins at the local level. We connect entrepreneurs who are rethinking their industries, innovative funders who are investing to scale the Localist movement, and visionary network organizers who can mobilize broadly. We provide the national forum for these leaders to connect, build their capacity and innovate. Together, our ideas are better, our voice is stronger and we’re proving how locally owned business strategies are the key to creating real prosperity.
BALLE is building a supportive field for these leaders by coordinating communications and impact metrics, spreading their stories and data, and attracting new resources. BALLE is seeking a talented and passionate intern to work with our metrics team starting in January. This intern would support the team by doing research and analysis on indicators of sustainable communities and strong local economies. The ideal candidate is a goal-oriented, self-starting, high performing individual with excellent research and analysis skills.
