Communications Intern Job Description
About the Internship:
Exile International empowers rescued child soldiers and children orphaned by war to
become leaders for peace through art-focused trauma care and holistic rehabilitative
care. While interns do not work directly with the children or Exile's African staff, they will
work with all US staff members. We offer interns the opportunity to gain knowledge and
experience about the structuring and day-to-day work that makes a nonprofit
organization run smoothly.
Exile’s workweek is typically Monday through Friday, between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm.
Interns will work alongside the Exile team and independently. Scheduling is flexible
depending on the organization's current needs and the intern's availability. All interns
must be Nashville-based for their internship, but work can be done remotely as needed.
Interns will receive a monthly stipend based on hours worked.
Requirements:
? College student or recent graduate
? Minimum of 10 hours/week (15-20 hours preferred)
? Nashville-based
? Passionate, hard-working, adaptable, and teachable
? Interns must have a laptop and be willing to use it for work purposes
Responsibilities:
As a Communications Intern, you will dive deep into a fast-paced environment, gaining
helpful knowledge in global advocacy and international relations alongside Exile Intl’s
US Creative team. You’ll work alongside the Communications Manager to build your
design skills on real projects, experience using diverse media and tools, and learn how
to engage a brand’s audience using design and story-telling. Tasks involve working
within various areas of the nonprofit — including executive, administrative, and creative
departments.
Each person's internship will vary based on availability and skill set.
Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
