Hello. I am Jim Lincoln and I am on the board for Run-Walk Events (RWE). RWE puts on fundraising events that raise money for childhood fitness. Last year, we raised over $55,000 for charity. This year we are hoping to beat that!
We have a new race series called the 'Resolution Races' which we are launching in the Denver area in 2017. We already have a website and the registration is open for all seven (7) races. I am now looking for an intern who can help us get the word out, raise excitement and grow our numbers via social media. Here is what we are looking for:
Some who...
- Knows how to use Facebook. Twitter. Instagram. Others, a plus!
- Knows how to create a Facebook page.
- Knows how to engage with others and generate excitement around our events.
- Can welcome new runners as they register.
- Can register our races on the various running calendar websites (e.g., marathon.com).
- Can make suggestions on changes to the website to increase the number of runners who sign up.
- Can find artwork and add motivation slogans that will help to build our brand with the local community.
How many hours would it take? The hours would be totally flexible. But, we are looking for someone who has at least 15 or 30 minutes a day.
What do you need to get started? The only requirement is that you have a laptop a solid Internet connection. If you are a fast learner and have the desire to learn a new skill, let's talk!

About Run-Walk Events

Mission Statement
Our mission is to spark a physical activity revolution across the United States by creating low-cost, family-friendly running and walking events that appeal to all ages, especially today's youth.
Description
We are a mission-driven organization who aims to have large-scale, positive health outcomes in the communities in which we operate. If some path will result in a greater impact in terms of the number of participants and/or the amount of good we do, we will favor this course of action. This includes our events or the amount of money we raise for our charity partner. If forced to choose, we weigh the impact of children higher than adults.
Our organization is volunteer run. While we do pay the Race Director a small stipend to maintain continuity, nearly everyone else is an unpaid volunteer. We seek to create a win-win environment where staff volunteers and interns can learn and grow in skills and experience with a time commitment as little as 2-4 hours/week. We specifically look for folks who want to give back, those who believe in our cause and those that with benefit in other ways outside of monetary compensation. We will write a recommendation letter after 90 days of satisfactory work.
Our events are built around the local community. The name of the event includes the name of the city where it is held, and we hire a local and race director. We partner with local businesses to finance our event. We also partner with a local charity for race-day volunteers and to receive funds raised.
