Port Discovery Children's Museum is looking for a couple of Marketing & Communications Interns to join the team this fall!

This hands-on, in-person internship offers students the opportunity to gain experience working alongside a museum marketing and communications team while helping share Port Discovery’s mission, exhibits, programs, events, and visitor experiences with families and communities.

Interns may explore one of three focus areas:

• Digital Content, Storytelling & Communications: Social media, photography, videography, digital storytelling, content creation, and communications
• Brand & Design: Graphic design, visual communication, branding, campaign development, and creative projects
• Marketing Research & Analytics: Marketing strategy, audience research, campaign planning, analytics, and performance reporting

Approximately 75% of internship time will be spent supporting the Marketing & Communications team in the intern’s area of focus, with approximately 25% spent alongside our Learning & Visitor Experience team. This experience gives interns firsthand exposure to our visitors, exhibits, programs, and museum environment while helping them better understand the audiences they are communicating with.

We welcome students and recent graduates studying marketing, communications, public relations, digital media, graphic design, photography, videography, business, analytics, museum studies, or related fields. Professional experience is not required. We are looking for candidates who demonstrate creativity or curiosity, strong communication skills, a willingness to learn, and an interest in mission-driven organizations.

Interested applicants should submit the following materials to volunteer@portdiscovery.org by September 1:

• Resume
• Cover letter
• Examples of relevant work, such as a portfolio, class projects, creative work, writing samples, marketing projects, research, photography, video, or design work

Applicants are encouraged to indicate which of the three focus areas most interests them.
