Details

We've built an award-winning editorial program that pairs volunteer writers and editors in a peer-to-peer program that accelerates aptitude in writing for online audiences. Editors coach and mentor writers on best approaches to writing about environmental issues in an online space, intentionally building skills while producing great content for our online journal.

With this project in its tenth year, we'd like an intern or project team to review our process and procedures, provide recommendations that could help us improve our processes and procedures, and ideally provide or execute an implementation plan.

Our goals for the project are to understand:

  • How our writers and editors (past and present) feel are our program strengths and where those things could be improved;
  • How to meaningfully recognize writers and editors for their contributions, recognizing our online format;
  • What things we could do to create broader appeal for our program to our target market of 18-25-year-old people with interest in environmental matters;
  • If and how a chapter model could assist writers and editors with meaningfully engage each other.

We will provide access to writers and editors for interviews and other statistics and reports we may have available.

If an internship, we will provide:

  • Shadowing opportunities to see how our program works;
  • Regular check-ins to provide feedback on project direction;
  • Supports and resources to implement the intern's plan, with the intern as the project lead
