About the role

  • Where You Fit In: We’re looking for a creative, organized, self-starter who will help us achieve development goals and uplift the HealthCorps mission by contributing creative and innovative ideas. You will help develop and implement communication and marketing strategies as part of a dynamic team of regional staff and other college interns. This internship will help you to supplement your current marketing and communication skills and provide a diverse range of experiences in the public health and non-profit fields. The experience you gain through this marketing and communications internship will be broad and helpful in preparing you for other fast-paced work environments.
  • What You’ll Do:
  • As a MarComm Intern with HealthCorps, you will play a key role in supporting regional communications, content creation, and outreach efforts that promote health and wellness in schools and communities.
  • We’re looking for someone who can commit to 8 hours a week throughout the academic year, with 2 – 3 hours a week being spent at local school sites capturing content. Your responsibilities will include:
  • Content Creation & Storytelling: You will support content collection and storytelling projects for digital communications and social media platforms. This may include developing written, video, and visual content that highlights the HealthCorps mission and impact, as well as creating social media campaigns, program reports, newsletters, blog posts, and other marketing materials.
  • On-Site Engagement & Coverage: You will be expected to visit multiple school sites each week to capture stories and content from the Teens Make Health Happen Clubs, along with attending and documenting HealthCorps regional and community events throughout the semester.
  • Social Media & Digital Marketing: You will manage the regional social media channels (Instagram & TikTok) by posting updates, monitoring engagement, conducting social listening to identify trends/audio formats, and maintaining brand consistency. You may also support content creation for platforms such as LinkedIn and YouTube in collaboration with the national team.
  • Performance Tracking & Reporting: You will help track engagement analytics and assist in monthly reporting to assess the performance and impact of communications efforts.
  • Campaign & Feature Support: You may assist in brainstorming and pitching recurring content ideas such as “Wellbeing Wednesdays” or “student takeovers.”
  • Internal Communications: You will help draft internal communications materials like email announcements, slide decks, or updates for HealthCorps teams as needed.
  • Collaboration & Teamwork: You will collaborate with a team of college mentors who deliver the TMHH health programming to local middle and high school sites in the Inland Empire, as well as other HealthCorps MarComm Interns in regions across the country. You will also participate in national intern huddles with the HealthCorps marketing team to align on voice, storytelling strategy, and key campaigns.
  • Represent HealthCorps in the Inland Empire Region: You will be an embodiment and extension of our organization and our values, both inside and outside your sites. Your presence -- whether at sites or at an area-wide event -- will be an asset in outreach efforts that connect teens, staff, and community members to HealthCorps resources and materials.
