Details

Students at Accelerate Her Future will be provided with an opportunity to develop interview guides for individuals who we wish to profile on our blog. They will also have an opportunity to write highlighting recent research focused on gender and racial equity as well as state of women in the workplace. This engagement will give interns an opportunity to work with a dynamic team within a collaborative environment.


The student will be exposed to a variety of skills and experiences to enhance their knowledge of digital marketing, communication, and content creation. We are a young startup and as a career accelerator for Indigenous, Black and racialized women and we care deeply about mentorship. We will help our students succeed as much as we want them to help us enhance our digital footprint. We are looking for students who have creative vision, tenacity, drive, and see possibilities in all things and who thrive at working independently and in a team setting.


To accomplish this, we expect the student(s) will:

  • Familiarizing themselves with our mission, goals, target market, programs and services.
  • Recommending topics for our blog posts.
  • Set up interview guides for member profiles.
  • Drafting blog posts relevant to our organization
  • Revising blog posts based on feedback.


Bonus steps in the process would also include:

  • Recommending ways to market our blogs.


Who are we looking for? Ideally you have lived experience and ‘insider knowledge’ of the communities we serve at the core of our mission. You are inspired by our mission and like working within a collaborative environment. You value patience, respect, generosity, and good humour in your working relationships. Having an emerging understanding of intersectionality and gender and racial equity principles will be an asset.

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

Mentorship
