We are seeking an intern to help manage our social media accounts, particularly Twitter and Facebook. While some content to post will be provided by our team, our intern will need to seek out additional content to share. The intern will also research strategies to expand our online presence and find new ways to support our audience. The position is an unpaid internship and would require a commitment of at least 5 hours a week through the end of May. This position is largely remote and flexible, though it would require regular email communication, and coming to City Hall at least once every two weeks for a check-in.
