Video Production Intern

MARE’s Communications Department is seeking highly motivated video production interns for any of the traditional school semesters: Fall, Spring, or Summer. The video production intern will work to produce high-quality video segments and photos that promote MARE's work and raise awareness about adoption from foster care. This internship will provide an ideal training ground for an intern to put their video skills into action in the real world. We will be pursuing an aggressive content creation schedule, so the intern for this position will quickly gain experience in all aspects of unscripted, documentary-style video production.

Communications and Public Relations Internship

Are you looking for communications experience? Join a 60+ year-old non-profit dedicated to child welfare and adoption. MARE develops public awareness and recruitment programs to inform the public about the children who wait, and who can adopt from foster care. We use these programs to attract potential adoptive families and then help them navigate the adoption process. These programs also serve to recruit adoptive families for specific waiting children.

This is a rigorous internship where you will not lack for meaningful work. You will contribute to our social media management, press relations, email marketing, and media production. In addition to contributing to standard team tasks, you will also be assigned a semester project which will be yours to create and develop over the course of your internship. Semester projects are typically hands-on awareness events in the intern's own community, with the goal of raising awareness about adoption from foster care.
