Video Animator Short-term Paid Position

A current UT Austin student is looking for an animator to make a short film based on their Plan II Thesis, a composition about one of Neptune’s moons. This would be a short-time paid position. See more information below:

“Hi, my name is Austin Ali, and I am a fourth year Plan II and Music Composition student at UT. I’m looking for a video animator (PAID GIG!) to help me put together a seven minute video clip. The video will be accompanied by music I composed for my Plan II thesis project. My thesis, a cross between science and music, is called “A Musical Portrait of Triton, the Rogue Moon of Neptune.” The video animation would be a short depiction of the origin story of Triton, which involves moons smashing together in a spectacular collision. If you’re interested, please contact me at austin@austinali.com or (214) 766-0179. Thank you so much!”

Summer Internships with the Miracle Foundation

The Miracle Foundation is currently accepting applications for internships in the areas of Office Administration, Development, Programs, and Marketing due May 1.


Since our founding on Mother’s Day in 2000, the Miracle Foundation has taken a stand for orphaned children. Our “Child First” approach is multi-faceted, collaborative and community-based:

  • 80% of children living in institutions have a living relative. We make every effort to reunite these children with their birth family, if possible.
  • For abandoned children without family — our measurable, systematic method ensures that children are loved, educated, healthy and safe until they transition to a permanent family.
  • We actively collaborate with governments, other non-profits and local family-strengthening organizations to transform systems and give children a voice.

Our interns gain an inside opportunity to learn how to run a nonprofit that makes an impact for the world’s orphaned children.

Responsibilities vary, but are generally in one of the following areas: Office Administration, Development, Programs and Marketing. We do our best to find work that suits your interests and develops your expertise.

  • Our Office Administration Intern will work with our Office Manager to complete various administrative tasks, create process documents, track departmental progress, and more.
  • Our Development Intern will work with our Development Coordinator to plan events, analyze fundraising data, develop fundraising campaigns, research funding prospects, and more.
  • Our Programs Intern will work with our Director of Global Programs and Program Coordinator to input and analyze data, create and improve programs, and more.
  • Our Marketing Intern will work with our Marketing Manager to do market research, assist with creative projects, maintain the website, analyze data, help with social media, and more.
