The Programs Intern will provide support to Venice Arts’ core Media Arts Education & Mentoring Program that provides free media arts workshops to low-income youth. They will engage directly with the development and communications departments, assisting in communications plans (program recruitment, organization messaging, fundraising event promotion) implementation, including the creations of social media posts and promotional materials design as needed. The intern will work 15-20 hours a week from June-December with a set schedule of Monday through Friday 12-4:30pm during the month of summer camp and a Monday-Friday schedule based on their availability during the Academic Year (September-December).
The ideal Programs Intern has an interest in arts education, arts programs and administration, fundraising, and/or nonprofit management. They should be familiar with Apple computers, Google suite and Adobe software. Candidates should be organized, motivated, and comfortable working with youth in a community-based setting. Customer service experience or previous experience working in a public facing role is a plus.
Since 1993, Venice Arts has served to ignite, expand, and transform the lives of Los Angeles’ low-income youth through photography and film education, and to use its participatory storytelling practices to amplify the voices of underrepresented communities around the world. We do this by building creative equity for low-income youth through media arts education, college success, and creative career pathway programs where we put creativity at the center of youth development. Through sequential learning -- from beginning to advanced levels -- students develop art, digital, and media literacy, including developing an understanding of how the still or moving image shapes their perceptions of themselves and their world.
