This intern will also research and be in charge of interviews for our “Future Leaders Project,” and occasionally they will have opportunities to host podcast episodes.

However, many people choose to extend their internship past the amount of time they initially committed to, provided their performance meets the required standards.

Responsibilities:

• Conduct and record quality “On the Street” interviews for our Social Media and  our website.
• Write follow-up pieces on the “On the Street” interviews for our website.
• Collaborate closely with the Social Media Team Lead and Director of Media.
