The New Jersey Institute for Social Justice seeks dedicated, highly qualified law and/or graduate students for summer and term internships. Term internships are part-time. Please submit inquiries or applications (comprised of a cover letter, resume, transcript (official or unofficial), three references, and a writing sample) to recruitment@njisj.org. Please indicate if you want to intern for course credit.
In a pivotal time for social justice in New Jersey and throughout the country, the Communications and Digital Media Associate plays a key role in advancing the New Jersey Institute for Social Justice’s mission by strengthening its public visibility and digital engagement.
Reporting to the Communications and Digital Media Manager and supporting the rest of the department’s team, this position uses creative and strategic digital communication skills to develop compelling visual and written content that amplifies the Institute’s brand, community engagement, policy advocacy and public education efforts.
In support of its “from the ground up” approach, the Institute has been expanding its community engagement/organizing team to build community power and engagement. A significant portion of the Communications and Digital Media Associate role will involve creating digital content for that team and partnering with them at community events to create live and recorded content, including video.
This role is suitable for someone who enjoys being on the ground and interacting with community members. It is an active, lively and dynamic position and will sometimes involve working hours outside of a 9-5 schedule.
The Communications and Digital Media Associate also creates digital and other content for the Institute’s programs team and the organization at large. The position additionally tracks digital performance; supports media relations; and contributes to campaign development, storytelling and event promotion to enhance outreach and engagement with diverse audiences across New Jersey and beyond.
