Marketing & Social Media Summer Intern
This internship is for those who want to gain experience in running social media for a non-profit organization. As a summer intern, you will work directly with our Social Media Coordinator on various marketing projects, such as Facebook & Instagram posts, event promotion, video and live stream production, helping run our online gift shop, and organizational/ administrative tasks. Ideally, you will also take on a leadership role with our July festival, YogaFest, depending on your skillset and the needs of the festival. Please include in the application what excites you most about aiding in YogaFest (tech/audio, decorations, health/safety, camping logistics, marketing, etc). Due to the Covid pandemic, Song of the Morning has shifted many programs online and will spend the 2021 summer reopening slowly for in-person guests & programs, including YogaFest. The ideal intern will be a creative problem solver who can support staff and the retreat’s operations during this changing time.
All interns will also be asked to perform any number of various tasks according to the timely needs of the retreat center, including assuming a daily role in community chores, housekeeping and dish washing. Anyone interested in deepening their experience working as a team in a vibrant, spiritually driven environment is most welcome to apply!
