Mariposa Child Success Programs is a small non-profit based in Baltimore (Union Mill complex) that trains parents and educators in a specific approach to working with children that leads to better results for both adult and child. Our director of program development (a Loyola alum) recently relocated to NYC. We are looking for an action-oriented communciations intern who would like to take a turn at the wheel with defining and executing our communications / marketing program while we look at longer term options for covering this specific need of the organization.
We are looking for someone who can:
– Quickly develop an understanding of the organization’s mission and offerings
– Review what we have and what we are doing (and not doing) in communications/marketing
– Develop a “doable” plan for using social media, public relations, etc. to raise awareness
– Begin to execute the plan, leaving a plan for post-internship execution.
Essential skills include working knowledge of Facebook and, to a lesser extent, Linked In. Must be able to write good copy with limited editorial oversight. Graphic design skills a real plus, but not essential if strong in other areas.
Per the Loyola guidelines, we are looking for assistance on the order of 8-10 hours per week. Scheduling is flexible and will be arranged by agreement. Our offices are at Union Mill (1500 Union Avenue) but both of the organization’s principals live within walking distance of Loyola and the organization operates largely without paper with most meetings out of the office.
Individuals interested in more information should review the current website (new one is 60 days away) and existing Facebook and Linked In pages. Additional examples of recent materials can be requested at info@mairposaeducation.org.
