Job Posting: Youth Intern

The intern will participate in planning committee meetings and assist with developing youth-focused programming for the event, raising awareness of the event among LGBTQIA2S+ and allied youth and those working with LGBTQIA2S+ and allied youth, contacting speakers and potential speakers for the event, coordinating with the location, handling communications for the event, including maintaining the website and social media accounts, and other work as needed. During the event itself, the intern may assist with coordinating volunteers, checking in participants, setting up for the event, and other work as needed. 

Almost all of the pre-event work will be done remotely, and the work during the event will be in person at the event location in Bismarck, ND.

This is a part-time paid internship (with an anticipated 2-5 hours per week of work over 4 months leading up to the event, and about 40 hours of work at the event itself), and the intern's travel and lodging costs will be covered for the in person work.
