Write to Change the World Internship at… at iFLIP4 · East…

Company Description

iFLIP4 is the brand and network for people who care. Our brand, called The Charitable Brand, donates half of its profits to the charity of your choice. Our network is the place you go to learn about the issues that plague our planet, and to discover the solutions to them. iFLIP4 educates. It inspires. It empowers, all in the name of the world’s greatest causes--and the best part: it’s driven by you.

Pre-launch, we have been featured in the New York Post, and we are also the recipients of the Brown University C.V. Starr Social Entrepreneurship Fellowship.

We have iFLIP4 Ambassadors (campus representatives) on 45+ college and high school campuses in the US, UK, and Canada, and iFLIP4.com has been visited in 100+ countries.

Some of our advisors include a former treasurer of IBM, a media expert who helped launch MTV, a Fulbright winning law professor, and a senior advertising executive in charge of $250 million of ad sales at Yahoo.

Job Description

Do you have the desire to make a profound impact on the world with your writing? Yes? Great. We want you to join our iFLIP4 Correspondent team!

As an iFLIP4 Correspondent, you’ll be generating weekly blog posts on a variety of social issues, and conducting interviews and composing longer, feature-length pieces profiling people directly impacted by issues that range from homelessness to domestic violence to AIDS research, and more.

This isn’t your standard editorial internship; we’ll never saddle you with pointless busy work or tedious research projects that, at the end of the day, don’t even provide you with a proper byline. Instead, you’ll have the freedom to write about the social issues you consider most important. In the process, you’ll gain invaluable, on-the-ground journalistic experience; for instance, rather than abstractly theorizing about the struggles of refugees, you’ll have the opportunity to set up interviews with former refugees themselves, and craft stories based on their experiences. As part of a highly selective Editorial Team, your judgment – and your skills – as talented, self-starting writers will be front and center.

EXPECTATIONS

We’d like our correspondents to submit 3-4 short blog posts (200-400 words) on a weekly basis, as well as taking on other interviews and feature-length assignments as they become available. Simply put, if you’re great, we want you to grow with us, whether that be into a more senior writing position or an editorial position.

Qualifications

A passion for writing, and a desire to change the world!

Additional Information

Preference will be given to those who apply earliest. You will be hearing back from Jason, our Editor in Chief.
