researchThe Starfish Canada is looking for 1 intern to write a three-part article series on the Canadian National Women’s History Month (~800-900 words each). The goal of the project is to publish 3 high-quality articles about National Women’s History Month and its connection to environmentalism on The Starfish Canada’s Youth Journal.
The student will work on a campaign circling Women’s History Month (October). The student will need to research Women’s History Month, the interdisciplinary connection to environmentalism, and other related topics. The student is required to write 3 high-quality articles and submit them in a timely manner to an editor. The first article will be about the history of Canadian National Women’s History Month, where and why did it start, and what is the importance of this month. The second article will be about how Women’s History Month and Women’s rights ties into the environmental movement. The third article will be about resources and organizations to support, current events and Women’s History Month within the context of 2022.
We will connect the writer to an editor to help the writer with direct editing and feedback on their writing. The student will also have biweekly check-ins with the Editorial Program Manager in order for the editorial leadership team to provide feedback and support. We will provide the student with a timeline and a schedule of deadlines for the first draft, final draft, and publication date in order for a successful publication. The submitted articles will be published on The Starfish journal - https://thestarfish.ca/journal/
Our Editorial Leadership Team at The Starfish Canada is here to support the student writers from day one of this internship with anything they need. Our main form of communication is through both email and our online Slack channel, Monday through Thursday, 9am to 4pm, EST. All correspondence is conducted online and this is a remote internship position. Please be aware that The Starfish Canada’s staff work together within a variety of time zones across Canada.
