The Massachusetts Rivers Alliance seeks a Communications Intern for a 3-month internship, ideally starting in Feb. 2025. Mass Rivers is a statewide non-profit with over 85 member groups dedicated to protecting and restoring the rivers and streams of the Commonwealth. Healthy rivers enhance climate resilience for communities by reducing flood risk, providing water supply, and supporting outdoor recreation. Mass Rivers uses advocacy, technical assistance, and community building to achieve this mission. The organization has strong relationships with lawmakers, state agencies, and non-profits of all sizes. Learn more about our work.
The Communications Intern will play a key role in designing and developing new marketing and communications content to share Mass Rivers’s work with a broad, diverse audience. The intern will create digital and print materials to educate the public, funders, and law-makers on environmental issues and to generate greater awareness of our work. Projects are likely to include annual report design, producing brochures, photography or videography, updating and creating new website pages, and creating marketing content and social media assets. Our interns gain exposure to the inner workings of a small non-profit, with opportunity for hands-on policy and communications experience. Every effort will be made to ensure that interns are credited for their contributions.
An ideal applicant will have strong experience with designing online graphics (for both print and media), social media, good writing and organizational skills, the ability to meet deadlines, and an interest in environmental protection. Fluency in, and access to, Adobe InDesign and/or similar design software is required.
