Video Intern Position
Texas Appleseed is offering a paid internship for a video intern at $11/hour. The intern will report directly to the Communications Director, but the intern will be able to work across project areas and with other directors at our nonprofit. The intern will help produce timely videos for our blog, The Core (see “The Core” videos on our YouTube channel) — from the filming stage to the editing stage and final video, help brainstorm concepts for other videos related to our work, select the best sound bites and broll from videos, and may help film interviews with key populations in Texas. When available, the intern may also assist with social media posts and other basic Public Relations/Communications functions.
