Texas After Violence Project (TAVP) is accepting applications for part-time internships and volunteers for Fall 2013. All interns will contribute to ongoing initiatives in our Storytelling Project, Conversations Project and Culture Project. We are especially seeking interns to assist in the areas of community outreach and media.
TAVP has different tracks for new interns:
- Media track: Media interns must have specific skills in documentary production and video-making, including video editing and/or videography and an interest in oral history and storytelling. Media interns will learn about the praxis of oral history as social change throughout the semester by working closely with staff on office work/assignments.
- Oral history track: Oral history interns will focus especially on the creation and management of our oral history interviews. Tasks will include research on ongoing and new cases, identifying and contacting potential narrators, assisting with interview preparation, managing post-interview documents, writing copy for website, and managing narrator database and outreach.
- Community Outreach track: Interns will contribute to ongoing efforts to develop community programs for our Conversations Project and assist with administrative and programmatic tasks in this area.
All interns will also assist with administrative tasks, social media and event planning.
TAVP also seeks new volunteers on an ongoing basis. Volunteers may work remotely or in the office. Please write to volunteer@texasafterviolence.org if you are interested in volunteering.
To apply, please send a resume and a cover letter describing your interest in TAVP to volunteer@texasafterviolence.org with the subject line Fall Internship. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
