We are seeking candidates that are current college students or recent graduates in the Philadelphia region. Juniors and seniors in college are strongly encouraged to apply.  

The Social Media Intern will work closely with the Specialist of Content and Design, and the Vice President of Communications, and will focus on all aspects of content marketing and content creation to amplify Campus Philly’s programming & initiatives.

The role also includes supporting the management of Campus Philly’s Instagram and TikTok, creating engaging video content for our social platforms, collaborating with local businesses, and assisting in managing local student influencers as part of our Campus Creators program. 

Here are some of the projects our Social Media Intern will work on this spring:

• Create 1-2 Instagram Reels per week promoting our Philly Night Out events, Spring Career Event, graduation content, things to do, student discounts, and more as determined 
• Find upcoming events & share with our audience through the Campus Philly Events Calendar

• Help to grow our new Campus Creators program by recruiting local Philly-based student influencers who are college students or recent graduates

• Attend Campus Philly events, as needed, to capture and create content to share on Instagram and TikTok
