Our ideal interns are enthusiastic about PR and ready to learn – every day is different, but we strive to keep it both interesting and educational. In addition to team and client work, we will also ask our interns to complete a series of assignments throughout their time with us to help hone skills and track growth.

We hire interns for academic credit for a minimum of 15 hours/week and are happy to work around class schedules during the school year.
