Internships at Teen Voices

If you live in the Boston area and are looking for a cool internship opportunity, teen magazine Teen Voices is currently accepting applications for development and editorial internships. Internships require a 15-20 hour a week commitment, and are unpaid. However, you can earn course credit, and undoubtedly you’ll get a bunch of great experience (not to mention have the chance to work at one of the coolest magazines on the planet!).

Here’s what the website says about each opportunity:

Editorial: Interested in magazine editing and publishing? Want experience at an internationally circulated teen-written and teen-edited magazine? As an Editorial Assistant, you will assist the Editor-in-Chief in all aspects of print and online magazine production including conducting background research, fact-check articles, copyediting, scheduling interviews, reviewing submissions, maintaining files, writing short pieces, and other editorial work as needed. 10 hours/week minimum.

Development Assistant: Does raising money for a good cause sound good to you? Then why not help Teen Voices fundraise? You’ll help our development staff manage donors, organize special events, submit grant proposals, research fundraising opportunities, and track donors and funders using our database. Computer skills required. 6-8 hours/week minimum.

Special Events Assistant: Interested in working on a big event and making it happen? Help Teen Voices and our development staff organize our special AMPLIFY! event, from contacting vendors, to helping with promotional materials, to coordinating work around auction, sponsorship and more! Organizational, communication, and computer skills required. 10-15 hours per week.

To apply, you’ll need to fill out an online application, attach your resume, cover letter, and 3-5 page nonfiction writing sample. You’ll be contacted within two weeks if the appropriate staff are interested in setting up an interview.

Good luck!
