Executive Communication Intern
📍 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.
Want a rare, inside view of how a nonprofit is actually led? As our Executive Communication Intern, you’ll work closely with GlowUp ACS leadership—shadowing directors during strategy sessions, partner meetings, and development activities—while helping turn discussions into clear, actionable communications.
It’s ideal for anyone curious about leadership, communications, business development, or creative direction. You’ll also spend part of your time contributing to a second department aligned with your interests, so you leave with both strategic perspective and hands-on experience.
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
- Shadow leadership in meetings, presentations, and planning sessions.
- Help with communications such as proposals, summaries, outreach, and partnership correspondence.
- Take detailed notes and translate discussions into strategy updates or project briefs.
- Contribute to cross-departmental projects across marketing, design, consulting, or research.
- Spend roughly half your time supporting a second department aligned with your interests.
What You’ll Need
- Strong writing, communication, and note-taking skills.
- Discretion, professionalism, and a proactive mindset.
- Interest in leadership, communications, or organizational strategy.
- 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!
