We are are currently looking for volunteer interns to help with the following projects in 2012. Rolling deadline. Open until filled. APPLY HERE
** Civics Summit Curriculum Development **
We have piles of workshops and activities that need to be compiled and organized into a training curriculum binder for the Civics Summit training team. The final product would include facilitation resources and workshop outlines for sessions on environmental education, political education, and leadership skill building. The intern would develop skills in curriculum development, environmental educational theory and practice, and design skills.
** Anchorage Teen Outreach **
AYEA wants to increase its connections with youth in Anchorage. Over half of the state’s teens live in this city and there are great opportunities to connect with other partner programs and reach out to teens. An intern could build relationships with partner programs, recruit teens to join AYEA, and then organize a group of teens to lead civic action and environmental education workshops for other youth.
** Communications and Media **
An intern could maintain AYEA’s website, facebook page, and compile monthly e-newsletters to send to teens, grads, and adult supporters. The intern would gain skills in website editing, html coding, social media, press communications, and the intern would build relationships with teens, grads, and partners.
** Summer Fundraiser Coordinator **
Planning for AYEA’s annual summer fundraiser event will begin in February. An intern could be the main coordinator for this event, which would include organizing a committee of volunteers, hosting regular planning meetings, soliciting donations of food and auction items, and coordinating the event program to include teen and grad speeches. The intern would also work with staff to invite supporters to come and to ask particular supporters to make significant donations. The intern would gain skills in event planning, volunteer coordination, and asking for donations.
** Your project idea! ** If you have a different project in mind, talk to AYEA staff about it.
