Social Media Intern

Are you a creative, self-motivated student or recent grad looking to gain hands-on experience in nonprofit marketing and social media? Join us this summer as a Social Media Intern and help bring joy to children and families through storytelling and visuals.

About the Role

This unpaid, remote internship offers flexibility for students with summer jobs, travel plans, or other commitments. You’ll collaborate with a small, passionate team and build your portfolio while supporting a meaningful mission. We estimate that the commitment will be 3-5 hours/week but will work with you to accommodate your schedule. 

We may select multiple interns with different interests and experience. For example, you don’t need TikTok experience, as we haven’t expanded to TikTok, but if there is an applicant who would love to implement this, we may select that intern for this purpose. This may reduce the number of hours required for each intern while allowing for collaboration and learning from each other. We typically post 4-5 days each week.

You’ll be creating content for our social media platforms, writing captions, brainstorming hashtags, and helping us share the heart of what we do with the world. One student intern led a beautiful rebranding in 2023, which we plan to keep in place (mainly colors) —each intern has built on that foundation, both expanding and adding creative touches. We welcome your creativity.

What You’ll Do

· Create engaging and mission-aligned social media content (graphics, stories, reels, etc.)

· Write captions and brainstorm hashtag strategies

· Help maintain a consistent voice and visual identity

· Suggest and experiment with new ideas for outreach and engagement

· Organize content into a simple posting calendar

 

What We’re Looking For

· Creativity and an eye for design

· Some experience with Canva, Instagram, Facebook, or similar tools

· Strong writing skills (short-form, social-friendly tone)

· Self-direction and reliability

· A heart for service—we support children in hospitals and honor a powerful legacy

 

What You’ll Gain

· Resume-worthy marketing experience

· Community service hours (if needed)

· The joy of using your talents to brighten someone’s day

Please include your current and summer 2025 employers and positions. Recent grads please include your graduation year (along with major and current employer, if employed).
(Paid jobs, vacations, classes) Do you generally have 3-5 hours per week available to volunteer? We don't expect you to volunteer during vacation weeks but knowing about them will let us plan.
