Rainforest Partnership based in Austin, Texas is an international nonprofit organization whose mission is to protect and regenerate tropical rainforests by working with the people of the forests to develop sustainable livelihoods that empower and respect both people and nature.

We are looking for video creator/editor interns. The video intern's duties include, but aren't limited to, the following:

• Creating video content to post on various social media accounts, website, and emails
• Establishing an up-to-date schedule for postings
• Assisting in creating a digital toolkit for Rainforest Partnership
• Conveying the message of Rainforest Partnership in a clear, simple, and engaging manner

Required skills and abilities include:

• Video Editing
• Experience with digital technology and editing software packages (e.g. Avid Media Composer, Lightworks, Premiere, After Effects and Final Cut)
• Thorough knowledge of timing, motivation and continuity
• Creative mind and storytelling skills
• Experience with creating social media posts
• Ability to work in a team setting
• Ability to turn things around quickly when needed

What you will get from this opportunity:

• An ability to work in a growing international NGO with a unique conservation model
• Your creations seen by tens or hundreds of thousands of people online
• Insight into the strategies and challenges in working in conservation and international development
• Practical experience through working in a position of real responsibility
• An ability to own your designated work portfolio, and learn hands-on project management, time management, ability to collaborate with highly skilled staff and volunteers
• Work in a fun, high energy, positive, collaborative and diverse work environment

We host many events throughout the year including Films for the Forest (part of SXSW Community Screenings), Earth Day (April 22nd), World Rainforest Day (June 22nd), and our Amazon in Austin fundraising gala (May 15).

Some of the first tasks for this position are: creating a shareable video for Earth Day, World Rainforest Day, and a video for our homepage about how we save rainforests, as well as using our rich archive of pictures and videos to craft short 15-60 second videos that will drive engagement on our social media platforms.

For example, we need the help of a volunteer who is capable of putting together a 1 minute promotional and informational video that conveys the message of World Rainforest Day and inspires people to act. World Rainforest Day, June 22nd, is a collaborative effort to encourage awareness and compel action to save one of the Earth's most precious resources, the rainforests.

These videos will be shared on various social media platforms and needs to be eye-catching, inspirational, and upbeat. Your videos could be seen by thousands or even millions of people around the world, as World Rainforest Day is an international event and has partnered with large social media followings. The volunteer would have regular check-ins with the World Rainforest Day coordinator, who will always be available to answer any questions. The volunteer can work from home if they wish and would be expected to have their own computer and other necessary equipment.

If the opportunity to create videos about rainforest conservation for a worldwide audience or being part of the Rainforest Partnership team interests you, please get in contact with us! Send a copy of your resume to info@rainforestpartnership.org. indicating the position of interest. We look forward to hearing from you!
