Number of students required to work in team: (1 team of 3-4 students)

Students at Accelerate Her Future will be provided with an opportunity to develop a high level virtual summit strategy for our community. They will also have an opportunity to design the summit experience tailored to the needs of our community. This engagement will give interns an opportunity to work with a dynamic team within a collaborative environment.

Students will be exposed to a variety of skills and experiences to enhance their knowledge of program development, event strategy and planning, marketing and communication. We are a young startup and as a career accelerator for students and recent graduates we care deeply about mentorship. We will help our students succeed as much as we want them to help us enhance our social impact. We are looking for students who have creative vision, tenacity, drive, and see possibilities in all things and who thrive at developing impactful programming with our audience in mind.

To accomplish this, we expect the student(s) will:

• Work in a collaborative team setting to develop program strategy
• Apply creative problem solving and design thinking tools to host 2 design jams
• Develop program recommendation and outline program design
• Conduct other tasks related to this project

Who are we looking for? Ideally you have lived experience and ‘insider knowledge’ of the communities we serve at the core of our mission. You are inspired by our mission and like working within a collaborative environment. You value patience, respect, generosity, and good humour in your working relationships. Having an emerging understanding of intersectionality and gender and racial equity principles will be an asset.

The students will work in a team and closely with the founder and the AHF team. They will participate in a weekly meeting and receive mentorship from a member of the AHF team.
