Description
We seek outstanding undergraduate and graduate journalism students as interns for each of Sprihe current school year and for the summer to collaborate on the boldest nonprofit initiative we know.
We are looking for entrepreneurial passionate, and energetic students with exceptional skills to take initiative on a national student journalism contest and on a national student video contest. This is an outstanding leadership opportunity in an innovative, emerging nonprofit.
Responsibilities
Teachers and students are already getting supplies from ClassWish.org. To raise greater awareness of the need and encourage more participation so we can help more kids, we are launching a national HS student video contest and a national HS student journalism contest, each called, “It’s Not Fair! My School Doesn’t Even Have ______!”
Interns will work in small teams focused on:
• Planning these contests: developing the strategy, writing the rules, selecting judges, designing the websites, enlisting partners, recruiting corporate partners, coordinating with media partners, pitching celebrities
• Promoting these contests: press and blogger outreach, planning and launching a social media campaign, establishing partnerships with various organizations, advertising, graphics, etc.
You will take a leadership role and work with other highly motivated interns, established professionals, and directly with our co-founder.
Requirements
Brains, heart, passion, energy, a notebook computer (as an early-stage nonprofit, we just can’t afford to buy dozens of machines), and a passion to make an immediate improvement to the education of tens of millions of children.
