You're awesome. We're awesome.
We should meet.
We are looking for the next wave of curious interns that are eager to make a direct impact in their local community. We’re not looking for someone with tons of experience or the highest grades (low grades actually impress us, too!), but we value someone who has a heart that cares for others and is excited to make things happen. If this sounds like you, we can’t wait to know more about you!
Intern Responsibilities
This is a general breakdown of some of the tasks that you might be involved in as an intern. Hopefully we can teach you a thing or two, but most likely you'll be teaching us a lot!
Administrative
Organizing, color coordinating, getting stuff done and all that Marie Kondo-ness (if you know, you know).
Graphic Design
Be a creative genius with an eye for sleek, fun and on-brand design. Work with the team to come up with great content.
Strategy/ Research
Stay in the loop with what's going on in the neighborhood. Help develop new ideas and programs for the community.
Editorial
Tell stories from our community. Get in touch with your inner journalist/detective and discover our neighborhood through storytelling.
Marketing/Social Media
Find cool, creative ways to let people know what we're up to. Strategize and scheme with the team to reach just the right people.
Event Planning
Brainstorm, plan and execute events together with the team. Get hands on with all the nitty-gritty details that go into executing a successful event.
