EXPERIENCE YOU WILL GAIN. Unlike internships at other organizations, Asia Society interns gain meaningful, real‐world experience in three key areas that most organizations and institutions demonstrate competency in – planning, implementation and evaluation. You can expect to develop confidence and marketable skills by engaging in or assisting with many of the following activities:

· Layout and design of marketing materials;

· Creation of the weekly newsletter and event announcements;

· Develop original content for the Asia Society website and blog;

· Research and implement outreach;

· Create, edit and produce multimedia content, such as video and photo slideshows;

· Assist with event coordination and logistical duties;

· Research topics for social media and assist with a social media strategy through outlets like Facebook and Twitter;

· And much more!

Qualifications: Only the best and brightest need apply. To be considered for the Fall/Spring 2020-2021 Virtual internship, you must:

· Maintain an overall GPA of 3.0 or higher;

· Major in international relations/studies, communications, English, journalism or marketing.

Applicants are responsible for transportation to and from the internship experience. Hours are flexible and depend on the student’s class schedule, course requirements (if applicable) and availability.
