Job Title: Social Media & Marketing Intern
Job Type: Contract
Start Date: 06/12/2023
Address:
Forest Grove, Oregon

Job Description:
The Social Media and Marketing Intern will work alongside AWL guides and
staff to deliver safe, instructional outdoor
recreation trips to a range of diverse youth and adult participants. While
the Social Media and Marketing Intern will
play more of a support role on trips, it is important that you feel
comfortable on and around water, and can
competently paddle a kayak or ride along in a raft in order to capture photos
and videos of trips in action. The Social
Media and Marketing Intern will be asked to create content for social media
(Facebook and Instagram), newsletters,
website, and/or print materials. A typical summer intern’s weekly schedule
usually involves two to three days in the
field and two days in the office or working in the gear warehouse. Applicants
should be available to work weekend
and/or overnight trips as needed. Interns often have the autonomy to identify
objectives they hope to achieve along
the way. Oftentimes interns will have the ability to lead and instruct
groups, learn from experienced guides and to
receive professional development, experience and networking opportunities in
the outdoor industry and adaptive
recreation community. The most successful applicants have a strong connection
to our mission and a passion for
sharing outdoor recreation with underserved communities. They are ambitious,
adaptable and are able to learn
independently and contribute with little guidance.
IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL:
● Assist staff to provide fun, safe and educational programming in some or
all of the following activities:
flatwater kayaking, whitewater rafting, canoeing, paddle boarding, climbing,
hiking, camping
● Work with participants experiencing a range of disabilities and think
critically to meet their needs
● Work independently on a project of your choice that will grow your skills
and mission of AWL
● Capture photos and video while participating in outdoor activities
alongside guides and participants
● Spend part of your time on trips but also in an office setting to
leverage content for marketing and outreach
purposes
● Help manage equipment and gear
● Work long days in a variety of outdoor settings under a range of weather
conditions
● Be an ambassador for AWL and uphold and model the community values of the
organization
