Social Media Intern

OUR NATIONAL CONVERSATION (ONC) seeks to reduce partisanship and promote effective solutions to America’s challenges. Powered by America’s youth, we host a media outlet, produce educational materials and facilitate dialogue intended to make America a better country.

The Social Media Intern contributes to ONC’s mission of providing nonpartisan news, opinions, and policy solutions by building a strong social media presence and community on platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Youtube. These interns will help with tasks including, but not limited to content creation, rollout strategy, engagement and data analytics. We want our platforms to contribute to creating interactive communities where civil discussion is encouraged. Social Media Interns may have the opportunity to become the face of one or more of our platforms if desired.

This position is remote, with work primarily conducted over Zoom and Slack, so applicants must be comfortable coordinating in a remote environment and are expected to maintain a high level of communication. This intern must commit to at least the end of the Spring Semester (April 30th, 2025). However, many people choose to extend their internship past the amount of time they initially committed to, provided their performance meets the required standards.
