The Social Media Intern contributes to ONC’s mission of providing nonpartisan news, opinions, and policy solutions by building a strong social media presence and community on platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Youtube. These interns will help with tasks including, but not limited to content creation, rollout strategy, engagement and data analytics. We want our platforms to contribute to creating interactive communities where civil discussion is encouraged. Social Media Interns may have the opportunity to become the face of one or more of our platforms if desired.
