Graphic Design Intern

The Graphic Design & Communications Intern will play a key role in designing and developing new marketing and communications content to share Mass Rivers’s work with a broad, diverse audience. The intern will create digital and print materials to educate the public, funders, and law-makers on environmental issues and to generate greater awareness of our work. This year, we are also updating our website and expect the intern to play a role in that process. Projects are likely to include annual report design, producing brochures, logo design, photography or videography, updating and creating new website pages/writing content for those pages, and creating marketing content and social media assets. Our interns gain exposure to the inner workings of a small non-profit, giving them an opportunity for hands-on policy and communications experience. Every effort will be made to ensure that interns are credited for their contributions.

An ideal applicant will have strong experience with designing online graphics (for both print and media), social media, copywriting, organizational skills, the ability to meet deadlines, and an interest in environmental protection. Website design skills are not required but are desirable. Fluency in, and access to, Adobe InDesign and/or similar design software is required. We ask applicants to submit a cover letter, resume, and a link to their portfolio and/or examples of web design.

The intern will be supervised by Anna Renkert, Mass Rivers’s Development & Engagement Manager , but will work with all staff members and some of our member organizations during their internship term. Mass Rivers values new and different perspectives; we hope to receive a broad pool of applicants, diverse in all its forms.
