Wanted: Sustainable Tourism Social Media Intern (Part-Time, Remote)
The BeachCorps Beach Bum Needs some help on Campus! We want some talented folks to help us share some ideas about sustainable tourism on their campus.

Duties of BeachCorps Campus Representative (10 hours total to be completed before the summer break 2018):

  • Craft a short video introducing themselves to share on BeachCorps social media. (2 hours)

  • Create one on campus live event (either in-person or live video) for David Searby to present BeachCorps or a broader topic like sustainable tourism, sustainability, or volunteer vacations. (3 hours)

​Being a BeachCorps Campus Representative would also give someone an inside track on a free trip to the Dominican Republic, as currently any student who was able to get 10 other students to take a BeachCorps trip to the Dominican Republic this summer 2018 or for Spring Break of 2019 or even summer 2019 would get a free trip (airfare, hotel, volunteer excursion). Any Campus Representative who took the trip would probably support our Recycling for Education program that gives kids school supplies for supporting recycling and trash clean up in their communities.

The Successful Candidate will:

  • Be a college student applicant with a strong knowledge of the digital media landscape, including various social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat, Pinterest).  If you don’t use all of these, we may still be able to work with you.
  • Have a creative mind to generate basic graphics (photos with text, using a Smartphone to create creative graphics, photos and videos).
  • Enjoy creating fun posts for Instagram and Facebook and possibly Snapchat that will include photos of the candidate.
  • Be strongly connected to local student associations, clubs, Greek organizations, or other groups that might be interested in learning about sustainable tourism.
  • Be comfortable speaking to a smartphone or computer camera as you will be one of the public faces of BeachCorps.
