As the Girls' Voices Now Social Media Strategy Intern, you will be the heartbeat of our online community. This role is perfect for a high schooler who loves digital culture and storytelling; you'll focus on making our followers feel heard and keeping our content fresh by spotting the latest trends.
From June 15 to August 7, 2026, you will journey through the full lifecycle of a social media campaign: starting with Pre-Production (June 15 – July 5, 2026), where you’ll collaborate with the marketing team to research viral trends and develop a "voice" for our community interactions; moving into the Summer Intensive (July 6 – 31), where you’ll manage real-time engagement by replying to comments, monitoring DMs, and pitching trending audios for behind-the-scenes content; and concluding with a Post-Program (August 1 – 7) wrap-up to analyze which posts resonated most and archive our best community moments for the future.
The intern will also:
- Collaborate: Participate in team brainstorms and stay in the loop with staff via Slack or email.
- Grow: Attend weekly check-ins with your supervisor, plus a mid-point and final review to celebrate your wins and talk about your professional goals.
-
Learn: You may participate in Trauma-Informed Care Training, gaining valuable skills in emotional intelligence and empathy; tools that are essential for managing online communities with care.
This internship requires no prior work experience, but we’d love to see applications from students who possess curiosity about how film and storytelling can create a better world for women and girls. We are looking for students who are excited to learn about the arts and social change for the first time.
What we are looking for:
- A Shared Vision: You care about the rights of girls and women and are curious about how movies can make a difference.
- A Helpful Teammate: You enjoy working with others, are ready to help out where needed, and aren't afraid to ask questions when you’re unsure of what to do next.
- Basic Digital Skills: You are comfortable with everyday computer tasks like typing and sending emails.
- Reliability: You can follow directions, keep track of your tasks, and show up ready to learn during your 15 hours per week.
- Communication: You are willing to practice speaking and writing clearly as you represent our team.
Bonus Skills (Not Required):
- If you enjoy taking photos or making videos for fun, tell us about it!
- If you can speak, write, or translate in Spanish, that is a wonderful plus but not a requirement.
Women’s Voices Now (WVN) uses film to drive social change that advances girls’ and women’s rights globally. We promote, produce, and share social-change films focusing on women’s and girls’ rights issues, providing active support to filmmakers who give voice to unheard women and girls, and activating civil society by moving audiences from empathy to action. We envision a global culture shift, powered by impact film, in which communities and institutions believe in the value of gender equality, and adapt their behaviors and actions to support systematic advancement of girls’ and women’s rights. We amplify underrepresented voices and reshape dominant narratives to foster inclusivity in front of the camera as well as behind it.
