Description:

Groundswell Center is currently seeking a dynamic and passionate Intern to join our team this spring semester (Feb - May 2021). Option to extend into summer is available.

This position supports communications and digital marketing needs of Groundswell to assist with
promotion of workshops, training programs, equity and justice content, and storytelling.

Interns utilize social media, website, blog, email newsletter, design software, and other channels of
marketing to raise awareness about sustainability, farming, food system injustices, racial equity, and advocacy. This position reports directly to the Development and Communications Manager and works collaboratively with the entire Groundswell team.
