The Olami Social Media Content Internship
The Olami Social Media Content Internship
Fall 2023 | Remote | Flexible schedule | 10 hours per week
As an Olami social media content intern, you will help manage, grow, and launch campaigns directly on our social media accounts on Instagram and TikTok. This account, created and driven by college students, aims to celebrate Jewish identity while also combating antisemitism on college campuses. This is a digital, hands-on internship where you’ll work directly with social media experts alongside a small group of your peers to gain experience in community management and content production.
Content interns should expect to develop copy for posts, participate in capturing content from and with fellow students, draft post captions, participate in TikTok takeovers, and apply relevant Instagram or TikTok content trends to a creative campaign.
Ideal candidates will use social media regularly, and understand the nuances of Instagram and TikTok. You will meet on Zoom once per week at a regularly-scheduled time to review work, participate in brainstorm sessions, and discuss upcoming assignments. If you are unable to attend a meeting, you will be expected to review the meeting recording. These sessions provide you the opportunity to increase your engagement in the program, as well as get to know your fellow interns attending schools across the country.

Professional Development (1 hour per week)
