Responsibilities:
AS the Book Promotion Intern you will identify, locate and contact independent bookstores and ask them to carry a book on the plight of the wild horse and burros in the American West. Most communications will be done via phone and email.
In some cases, they will also look for opportunities to arrange for our wildlife ecologist and author to make an appearance for a book signing and / or a brief presentation.
Requirements:
Outgoing personality, a passion for wild horses and burros and for this issue, and a willingness to reach out to others.
Additional Skills:
Creativeness and resourcefulness.
Benefits:
While this is an unpaid internship, the successful candidate who works in this position will receive a number of benefits:
- The satisfaction of working on a very important cause—one that could help to save the wild horses and burros and allow them to remain safely on our public lands for generations;
- You'll learn a lot on how a powerful and effective web site, social media and public relations campaign can help to educate the broader public on an organization and an important issue, help shape public opinion, mobilize people to take action and in some cases, help to shape public policy on that issue.
- Work with a team to implement and improve your work.
- Meet new and interesting people.
- Receive a letter of recommendation upon the successful completion of this project.
Location:
We will interact primarily by phone, email and via Skype, so there is no need to travel or to relocate for this position.
Length of Internship:
Possibility of extending the internship for another semester if interested.
