Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

The Starfish Canada is looking for one intern to write five articles celebrating our 2023/2024 Top 25 Environmentalists Under 25. The articles will be between 800 to 1000 words each and cover the stories and work of multiple Top 25 winners per article. The articles will also be translated and published in both English and French in our journal, but the intern is not required to be bilingual. The internship will run from the first week of January until the first week of April 2024.

What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

The intern will be responsible for working alongside The Starfish Canada’s Editorial Leadership Team to develop, write, and edit five articles covering the stories and work of this year’s Top 25 winners. The Top 25 winners for this year will be grouped into different themes. The intern will be responsible for writing questions within those themes and gathering responses from all Top 25 winners before writing each of the articles. The questions must be unique, engaging, interesting and vary from theme to theme. With the responses to the questions, the intern will be required to write different articles per theme that are not just simply a copy and paste of the Top 25 winners’ responses to the questions. The articles must tell an enticing story and adequately introduce the winners, their stories, and their work.

The intern will be responsible for writing two articles in January, two in February, and one in March, spending 8 hours a week writing and editing.
