Outreach Intern

The outreach intern will support the marketing and outreach efforts of the Community Engagement Director. By assisting with social media implementation, providing on-the-ground community outreach and working closely with their supervisor to enhance YWCA Duluth’s digital marketing reach, the ideal intern will be interested in communications, marketing and nonprofit mobilization. YWCA Duluth is also hoping to include a formal mentorship opportunity with a local woman leader as part of each internship. This offering is still in development.
 

Activities will depend on the timeframe of the internship, of which there are three:
● January - May
● June - August
● September - December
 

Full year or partial year internships are an option. The intern will work both independently and as a part of the YWCA Duluth Team. The perfect candidate would intern a minimum of 10 hours a week, working in the Building for Women office located at 32 E. 1st Street as well as spending part of their time doing outreach in the community, with time off for breaks and holidays. The schedule is negotiable and will be decided by the intern and supervisor collaboratively. Weekend and evening work is expected from time to time to help manage events and outreach. The ideal candidate will have access to a vehicle to support outreach events set up and flyer disbursement.
