Summer Internship: Nonprofit Storytelling
E2AC’s Nonprofit Storytelling internship brings together students, important causes, and the power of story. As part of our larger, year-round E2AC Ambassador program, each student will learn what it takes to research, identify, produce, and create a story for a cause that matters - with a tangible impact to affect change.
All participants in our program earn an E2AC certification in Nonprofit Storytelling: what it takes to identify the right story, find appropriate funding, promote your project, and tell it with empathy in order to entertain, educate, engage, and inspire.
Prior projects have included video series of patient stories for a rare disease nonprofit based in Boston and podcast documentary series with a civil rights leader in Minneapolis.
