The Justice Arts Coalition (JAC) is seeking remote Interns to assist in all areas of online event planning, including workshops, fundraising events, and a national convening. Along with planning and event execution, interns will provide support with database maintenance, correspond with speakers and other stakeholders, create and distribute promotional materials, and help with other projects as needed. 

The ideal candidates will have a deep commitment to JAC’s mission, vision, and values, and should be organized, with strong attention to detail, possess excellent computer skills (including competency using Microsoft Word, Excel, Google Drive, Zoom, and social media platforms) and be able to work independently and complete projects quickly without sacrificing quality and accuracy.

  • Support JAC leadership and planning committee with projects as needed.
  • Plan, promote, and host online workshops leading up to and after the conference

This is a full time (40 hours/week) internship with a $2000 stipend. It requires a relatively flexible schedule to accommodate evening meetings and weekend events. We are looking for someone to start at by the beginning of May, 2021 and commit through August. 

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other protected group. Individuals who have been directly impacted by the carceral system are encouraged to apply.
