Working closely with the Executive Director and Project Manager, the intern will assist with event logistics including venue setup, timeline management, and overall event preparation. The intern will also support marketing initiatives such as social media promotion, updating the organization’s website, assisting with digital and print materials, and engaging with local businesses and community members.

The internship runs from June through December, with an expected commitment of 15 in-person hours per week at our office. This is a great opportunity to gain valuable experience in event management, marketing, and community outreach.
BKCF supports a collaborative, empowered, and fun work culture.
The ideal intern will have a strong interest in learning how to plan, promote, execute, and evaluate public events, along with proficiency in Office 365, Google Workspace, and Canva.

They will also be expected to take initiative on specific event tasks and provide regular updates to staff.
The Bixby Knolls Community Foundation (BKCF) was founded in 2019 as an independent philanthropic entity that is linked to the Bixby Knolls Business Improvement Association. While the Business Improvement Association focuses on commerce, BKCF operates as a separate entity that serves Bixby Knolls through programming that addresses community needs. BKCF is representative of a highly diverse neighborhood. Cultural equity and inclusion are at the heart of everything we do, so we are committed to serving everyone in our community equitably. Our programming reflects the broad cultural diversity of our neighborhood. We have regularly hosted Black, Latine, and Asian performers for our “Concerts in the Park(ing Lot)” and "First Fridays" events. Our EXPO Art Center also hosts broadly diverse visual and performing artists throughout the year.
Beginning April 1, please submit your resume along with two references, including their names and contact information.
