Marketing/Events Internship

The Buttonwood Park Zoological Society currently has an opening for a Marketing/Events Intern.  The internship will not only provide practical hands-on marketing experience, but also an in-depth understanding of a non-profit and cultural organization.

The marketing/events intern reports to the Executive Director.  The intern will assist with researching, implementing and tracking marketing initiatives and special events.  In addition to assisting with general marketing efforts, interns will choose one project, initiative or special event to undertake under the supervision of the Executive Director.  Potential projects include:

• Marketing Partnership with another local organization
• Social Media Marketing Campaign
• Special Event

The intern will present a report on his/her project at the conclusion of the internship.

The student’s academic program will be the deciding factor in all internship requirements; however the minimum requirements for this particular internship are as follows:

• Interns must be at least 17 years of age and work at least 4 hours per week for 12 weeks.
• Specific hours are to be agreed upon in advance with the Executive Director.
• Majority of work will be completed Monday-Friday between 9 AM and 5 PM, however occasional weekend or evening hours may be required to assist at events.
