Our Marketing & Communications team tells the story of that work to our community, partners and supporters. 

About the role 

The Media and Storytelling Intern captures BOSS in action and turns it into photos, reels and stories that bring people into the work. You will create content published on our channels and finish the semester with a portfolio of real work.  This hybrid role combines remote production with on-site events and program activities in Berkeley and Oakland.  This is an unpaid internship designed for academic credit, and BOSS will work with your school to complete any credit agreement.

  • Edit reels and short videos in Opus Clips for Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok and YouTube 
  • Draft captions and Story sequences for review 
  • Collect and log signed media releases for everyone featured 
  • Organize and tag assets in the BOSS media library 
  • Draft staff and partner spotlights for our blog and newsletters 

What you will learn 

Event photography, short-form video editing, trauma-informed storytelling, caption writing and digital asset management, with weekly feedback from the Marketing & Communications Manager. You will work in Canva, Opus Clips, Hootsuite, Google Workspace and Dropbox. 

Who we are looking for 

  • Currently enrolled college student or recent graduate within 12 months 
  • Experience with photography, video or social media content, including school or personal projects 
  • Familiarity with Canva, CapCut, Opus Clips or similar tools is a plus 
  • Reliable, curious and respectful of people's privacy and dignity 
  • Available 8 to 12 hours a week, including some weekday and weekend events 
  • Able to reach Berkeley and Oakland sites by transit or car 
  • Lived experience with the issues BOSS works on is valued as expertise
