Public Relations Intern

Save to Favorites

Community Alliance Against Family Abuse (CAAFA) is seeking a motivated go-getter to serve as our Public Relations Intern! In this unpaid position, you will gain valuable experience in social media and media relations, while helping support great work in your community!

Founded in 1998, CAAFA serves individuals impacted by domestic and sexual violence in Pinal and eastern Maricopa Counties. We operate a crisis shelter and also provide services to survivors in the community who do not need shelter, or who have exited our shelter program. Our services include victim advocacy, lay legal advocacy, sexual violence services, support groups, one-on-one empowerment sessions, case management, safety planning, direct financial assistance for both emergency needs and self-sufficiency, food boxes for nutritional support, community education and awareness, and more!

CAAFA serves all genders, including in our crisis shelter. We are trauma-informed, and use a low barrier approach to all of our services-meaning that we serve individuals whose circumstances (e.g. substance use, mental health challenges, immigration status) may otherwise be barriers to receiving services. Among those who know CAAFA, we have a reputation for delivering high-quality and personalized care. But we’re seeking a Public Relations Intern to help MORE people get to know us!

As Public Relations Intern, you will learn about CAAFA and how we communicate our services and unique service philosophy to the community. You will create a PR action plan, act as a liaison with media contacts, draft social media content, identify new outreach and PR opportunities, and support with donor relations/fundraising efforts.

Hours and schedule are flexible; we will work with the right candidate to ensure that the opportunity is mutually agreeable and beneficial. However, we are hoping that the intern will commit to at least 3 - 6 months. Candidates studying or with a degree in Public Relations, Communication, Media, Journalism, and similar fields are preferred.
