Position Description:

​

Here at Dream Equal we believe in learning by doing. Our goal is to empower you to lead instead of follow. We will put you in the decision-making seat multiple times during your internship; interns will take up their own projects, contribute to Dream Equal’s long-term planning, and lead their own teams. We believe that cohort programs are more beneficial than solo internships, as participants are exposed to more diverse perspectives and receive opportunities for collaboration. All interns will be placed in a cohort of about 12 interns.

 

Specific Projects:

​

  • Managing and creating regular content for DREAM EQUAL’s TikTok account

    • Following trends and brainstorming ideas

    • Creating plans for filming and incorporating content from DREAM EQUAL international chapters

    • Producing content adjusting based on constructive feedback

  • Assisting the Communications team with social media content creation for Instagram following DREAM EQUAL branding guidelines

  • Brainstorming educational content for social media platforms

  • Collaborating with other interns to lead an informational session or workshop on a topic related to gender equality

  • Additional related duties as needed

​

Required Qualifications: None. Everyone has a voice that matters and the potential to contribute something important to the world. We believe the moment that we put a required number of years of work experience or education on an application, we remove the possibility of bringing in people onto our team that we need and value the perspectives of. Thus, when choosing our interns, rather than looking for years of experience, we look for qualities such as kindness, compassion, determination, and, most importantly, a willingness to learn.

 

Preferred Skills: 

 

  • Unbridled creativity

  • An eye for design

  • Interest in social media platforms

  • Organizational skills

  • Teamwork & collaboration

  • Passion for gender equality

​

  • 30 hours of leadership training ($5,000 value!) focusing on the following topics:

    • Ethics and morality in leadership

    • Negotiation and Conflict resolution

    • Facilitating community discussions

    • Motivation and engagement

    • Project planning and delegation

    • Fostering a safe, healthy, and empowering work environment

    • Combatting stereotypes in the workplace

    • Self-awareness and communicating your needs

    • Running effective meetings
