We are seeking a creative, detail-oriented Social Media and Marketing Intern to help tell the Mindful Works story, build brand awareness, and create compelling content across digital platforms.

• Photograph and edit images of products, events, and behind-the-scenes workshops
• Help manage and grow Mindful Works’ social media presence by planning and scheduling posts
• Collaborate with the team to support campaigns, promotions, and product launches
• Maintain consistency with Mindful Works’ brand voice, tone, and style guidelines
• Occasionally support light event marketing or in-person photo documentation at pop-ups or markets (optional but preferred)

Qualifications:

• Strong skills in graphic design (Canva, Adobe Creative Suite preferred)
• Strong writing and editing skills, with the ability to craft clear, engaging captions and posts
• Experience with social media platforms, content creation, and basic photography/videography
• Creative mindset with attention to detail
• Passion for social impact, mental health awareness, and community development
• Ability to work independently, manage time, and meet deadlines
• Basic familiarity with website editing (e.g., WordPress) is a plus but not required
• Bonus if you have experience with ConstantContact

Details:

• 8–12 hours/week
• This is a paid position, with an hourly range of $18–$22/hour, depending on experience 
• Flexible schedule (some daytime availability preferred for event documentation)
• Internship can be tailored for course credit if needed

Why Join Us? At Mindful Works, your creativity will have a direct, positive impact.
