Join the founding cohort of interns helping connect Odisha's NGOs with the CSR partners ready to fund their work — across all 30 districts.
Odisha has thousands of NGOs doing remarkable work, and hundreds of enterprises looking for credible partners to fund. JaBaSu Trust is building that bridge — Odisha's first end-to-end NGO enablement platform, connecting NGOs, CSR funders, and institutional partners across all 30 districts.
And bridges aren't built by platforms alone. They're built by people. That's where you come in.
We're inviting a founding cohort of interns — Community Builders — to help grow the JaBaSu network on both sides of the bridge.
The network you help build in the next six months will still be serving Odisha in ten years. Founding cohorts don't come around twice.
JaBaSu connects NGOs and CSR partners across every major social sector in Odisha. As a Community Builder, you'll help organisations in these areas tell their stories, get onboarded, and find the right funding.

Explore sector →You'll work closely with the founding team — reaching organisations that have never had a digital presence, and mapping CSR capital to the communities that need it most.
Reach organisations across Odisha's districts, help them tell their story through our Sector Spotlight series, guide them through onboarding, and verify and enrich our growing database of 270+ NGOs. Some have done extraordinary work for decades without a digital presence. You'll be the person who changes that.
Research companies with CSR mandates in Odisha, map their focus areas to NGOs doing matching work, and help build the relationships that eventually put funding where it's needed. You'll learn how CSR actually works — not from a textbook, but from the inside.
This is not a coffee-fetching internship. Your work will be visible — on the platform, in the network, and in the recommendation we write for you.
Work alongside the founding team on live NGO and CSR conversations — not simulated case studies.
Contribute to Sector Spotlight and other pieces on jabasu.org under your own name.
Build genuine relationships across Odisha's NGO and corporate sectors before you even graduate.
Receive a certificate and recommendation letter that describes real contribution — because there will be real contribution to describe.
Students and recent graduates in social work, development studies, management, journalism, law — or simply people who communicate well, follow through, and care about the outcome.
Odia fluency is a genuine asset for NGO outreach. The role is remote-friendly, with occasional meetups in Bhubaneswar.
The network you help build will still be serving Odisha in ten years.
