Commitment Requirements

To ensure quality and continuity, we kindly ask that applicants have some prior experience in content creation, video editing, or digital storytelling.

Interns must be available for the full duration of the Summer Program, June 22–August 29. Because this role supports ongoing content and storytelling efforts, we are unable to accommodate interns who start late or leave before the program concludes.

This is a voluntary, unpaid internship. In return, interns will gain hands-on experience in nonprofit communications, digital storytelling, and content creation; contribute directly to a high-impact educational initiative; receive mentorship and professional feedback; and obtain a formal letter of recommendation upon successful completion.

To apply, please send your resume and examples of previous content (social media pages, videos, portfolio, or other relevant work).
