About the role
Media and Communications Internship:
This internship will offer you a chance to learn about crafting communications strategies, messaging, engaging the media, and advocacy campaigns. Interns will engage the public through social media and email campaigns, track reporters and news outlets, and monitor news coverage as it is garnered.
- *Interns' work can include:* The development of timely, interesting content for RISEP's website, social media, newsletter, and other media platforms. Interns will help develop and promote press releases and statements, fact sheets, videos, and news media. Media and communications interns will develop their capacity and familiarity with software (photoshop, indesign, etc).
- This opportunity is open to students from all fields. It is an especially great opportunity for students interested in careers in media and communications, and provides students the ability to build a portfolio of work for the job market or graduate school applications.
RISEP expects interns to be full participants in projects, to take direction and supervision from our experienced field research associates, and to make meaningful contributions to our agenda of applied research and our mission to serve the interests of working people, their families, and communities.
