Social Media Intern

During Creation Weeks, you will

• Develop original social media concepts from assigned content prompts
• Design posts, stories & reels primarily in Canva
• Write & refine supporting social copy
• Share concepts for initial feedback before developing them independently
• Contribute developing work to gep’s shared Content Board
• Prepare & schedule approved content through Meta Business Suite

During Engagement Weeks, you will

• Check scheduled content to ensure it published correctly
• Respond appropriately to comments & direct messages
• Route partnership, collaboration and other organizational inquiries to the Internship Director
• Review engagement and content performance
• Carry those observations into your next Creation Week

• Social media content development
• Creative direction and visual storytelling
• Copywriting
• Nonprofit and mission-driven communications
• Canva
• Meta Business Suite
• Audience engagement and community management
• Social media performance analysis
• Collaborative creative workflows
• Translating organizational goals into public-facing communication

Interns will participate in weekly check-ins with the Internship Director to review progress, address roadblocks and establish goals for the coming week.

You may be a strong fit if you

• Enjoy visual communication, design, writing or social media
• Have a strong creative instinct and like developing original ideas

• Pay attention to grammar, messaging & visual detail

About golden eyes project

golden eyes project is a public charity exploring how art, regeneration and human creativity can become resources for social impact.

Our work includes youth-development initiatives, creative programming, regenerative community concepts, artist collaboration and storytelling designed to help children recognize their creativity, capability and relationship to the world around them.

We’re still in an early stage of organizational development, which means interns have the opportunity to contribute to systems and creative work as they are actively being built rather than stepping into a fully established corporate structure.

If you’re excited by the opportunity to help build a social presence that is playful, compassionate, bold & creatively unconventional, we’d love to hear from you!

Seek art. See revolution.
