Lighthouse Writers Workshop Anonymous (not verified) Tue, 07/24/2018 - 11:16

Overview

Lighthouse internships provide students with career experience in arts nonprofit organizations. We offer focused educational experiences that will translate to real-world job skills and will help interns make informed professional decisions. Lighthouse internships support our Young Writers, Communications, Community Engagement, Events, Adult Programs, and Development teams. Work is a mix of organizational needs and the intern’s interests and career goals.

Lighthouse interns will get an inside look at the functioning of a busy arts nonprofit and may, if availability permits, get an opportunity to sit in on workshops, events, and classes. While some writing is a component of the internship, and exposure to a vibrant writing community is certainly a perk, please note that the goal of this internship is not to develop the student’s personal creative work.

Projects may include:

Assistance in Young Writers Program Workshops;
Customer service;
Basic graphic design and material distribution;
Event coordination;
Assistance with social media, email campaigns, and institutional marketing;
Writing blogs and conducting written interviews, helping with podcast production;
Website updates on Drupal;
Various administrative assistance including but not limited to filing, data entry, tallying evaluations, and digitizing files;
Each intern will work with their supervisor to develop a long-term internship project, which can follow the interns career interest and Lighthouse’s needs. This project should be something that contributes to the organization and something that the intern can use in a future professional portfolio.
And other tasks as needed.

Qualifications

Lighthouse is looking for interns who are passionate about the literary arts and seeking experience in the nonprofit world. Candidates should be self-motivated, willing to ask for help and direction when needed, communicative, and able to answer questions for a diverse group of people. A sense of curiosity is a must; interns should be quick learners and excited writers.

Lighthouse requires interns to be present during our weekly staff meeting, Tuesday’s at 11:00 AM.

Benefits

Lighthouse interns gain invaluable experience in the day-to-day operations of a large arts nonprofit. Additionally, our internships provide the opportunity to meet and learn from successful writers and when available, interns are able to sit in on events, seminars, and workshops.

Lighthouse Writers Workshop is the largest literary arts center in the Rocky Mountain West. For more than 20 years, we’ve provided quality instruction, community events, and artistic support for writers and readers of all levels, ages, and backgrounds.
