Come work with me! The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Asian American & Pacific Islanders Commission is hiring a new Communications Coordinator intern 💻
This is a part-time internship for academic year 2024-2025, with an expected commitment of 10 hours per week, paid at $26.00 per hour. While primarily remote, all applicants must be based in Massachusetts. Full commitment to an understanding of racial equity, diversity, and inclusion work is required.
To my future intern, here’s what you should know:
🌺 You’ve heard of working with a dynamic team, but this role allows you to learn the ins and outs of working with a public Commission. As staff and interns, we support 19 state-appointed Commissioners in serving AAPI communities across the Commonwealth.
🌸 We’re actively adapting a three-year, multi-pronged strategic plan. Your work will directly contribute to our community engagement and visibility efforts, allowing us to be a bridge and a more effective resource for Massachusetts AAPI residents.
🌺 We’ve just begun planning for the 2025 Annual Unity Dinner. Last year, at this sold-out event, we recognized AAPI individuals and an organization making a significant social impact at the local level. Your event marketing assistance will help us to unite an even more ethnically and geographically diverse audience for next year.
Emphasis on Growth
🌱 While a sample of responsibilities are listed in the job description, this program is ultimately designed to cultivate your interests and areas of professional growth.
🌱 By the end, you will walk out with a diverse communications portfolio in copywriting, graphic design, content creation and more.
Emphasis on Inclusivity
✅ We tried to eliminate logistical barriers whenever possible. While all applicants must be based in Massachusetts, this role is primarily remote. You will have the opportunity to attend in-person events as needed and as desired.
✅ While all applicants must be currently enrolled in higher education, we accept everyone from 2-year to 4-year institutions and graduate programs.
✅ We separated required qualifications from additional desirable qualifications. For example, it’s great if you’re pursuing a related degree, have prior communications experience, and have lived experience as an AAPI individual – but these things are not mandatory. We encourage everyone to apply, regardless of race, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, age, or veteran status. And we’re excited to help you grow as a communications professional!
💌 To apply, please email your resume and cover letter to me at lizettesta.maria@aapicommission.org by July 14, 2024 at 11:59 PM EST. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
