📍 Remote | 🌍 International Applicants Welcome | ⏳ Must be available 20+ hrs/week (EST) | ⚠️ Unpaid Role | You do NOT need to be a student | College credit optional | Must be able to start immediately.

Are you passionate about storytelling and sharing stories that matter? As our Public Relations Intern, you’ll help craft and share stories about student success, community partnerships, and small-business growth.

Working with our communications team, you’ll develop press materials, manage media lists, and support outreach that raises visibility for our mission—real-world experience creating media impact with purpose.

About GlowUp ACS — GlowUp ACS is a New Jersey–based 501(c)(3) nonprofit working to close the “experience paradox”: the catch-22 where entry-level roles require experience that early-career talent hasn’t yet had the chance to build. As an Associate Intern, you’ll contribute to real, meaningful work on live projects. This is an unpaid role, and we follow all applicable U.S. and university guidelines for unpaid internships; documentation to support college credit is available upon request. We value self-starters who communicate openly and thrive in a flexible, collaborative, fully remote environment.

Responsibilities

• Draft and edit press releases, media pitches, and story summaries.
• Research press and partnership opportunities.
• Support media outreach and follow-ups.
• Help manage PR databases and organize press mentions.
• Collaborate on campaign communications and storytelling materials.

What You’ll Need

• Strong writing and editing skills.
• Interest in public relations, journalism, or communications.
• An organized, communicative, and proactive mindset.
• Reliable computer/laptop, stable Wi-Fi, and a webcam/microphone.

What You’ll Gain

• The official Associate Intern title for your resume and LinkedIn.
• Hands-on experience on real projects you can add to your portfolio.
• Mentorship and feedback, with access to professional development resources as capacity allows.
• Eligibility for optional college credit where your school offers it, with documentation provided on request.
• A reference reflecting your contributions, where earned, and the potential to grow into a Fellowship or title-earning role over time.
• A welcoming, inclusive, mission-driven remote team.

If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you. Come grow with GlowUp ACS!
