INTERNSHIPS
Communications & Audience Engagement: The Communications & Audience Engagement Intern will be part of KEXP’s Marketing Team, contributing to our efforts to connect with new audiences and better serve existing audiences, while inviting them to participate in KEXP’s mission as advocates, collaborators, and donors. The role will be primarily aimed at deepening engagement with youth and families. This intern will collaborate with the members of the KEXP Marketing Team to strategize, produce, and publish social media content, with a focus on content that drives engagement and enrichment among our younger audiences. They will provide social media and audience engagement coverage and collaborate with participants in KEXP's internship and Youth DJ programs to enhance in-person activations at KEXP's Seattle Center studios for youth and families. This intern will also contribute to efforts to measure and report on key indicators of progress related to in-person activities, and conduct research on social media trends to identify opportunity for alignment with KEXP's strategy.
Community Events: The Community Events Intern will be part of KEXP’s Community Engagement Team, contributing to our efforts to plan, produce, and execute successful mission-based events that serve the community, with a focus on youth (ages 14-26) and families. This intern will collaborate with KEXP’s Advancement, Facilities, Programming and Production teams, and be involved in all aspects of event planning leading up to the event, as well as day of show, to create meaningful in-person experiences for KEXP audiences, especially youth and families. This intern will be involved in minor and major details of select KEXP events and gain invaluable experience in event logistics, communication, curation, and more.
Latin American Content: This intern works with the Latin Content & Multimedia Producer to create high-quality content in both English and Spanish. The position will be engaged in the content development process from pre-to-post-production, including conducting research, coordinating interviews, editing audio, and drafting social media copy. The intern will gain experience in bilingual music programming and storytelling that connects communities around the world. This internship does not involve hosting the show El Sonido or Live on KEXP sessions.
Library & Archives: The KEXP Library & Archives provides staff with access to the information and media they need to keep the station operational. While the library largely supports the needs of the DJs, the institutional archives are dedicated to organizing and preserving KEXPs rich history. T-shirts, posters, vinyl records, photographs and documentation are just a small list of items that the Library & Archives is tasked with preserving for the future while making them accessible and useful in the present. The intern will contribute to the maintenance and growth of the archives by assisting with a variety of projects aimed at collections organization and access, while assisting with the further development of archival policies and procedures. The primary focus of this internship will involve archival tasks such as the arrangement and description of collections (writing finding aids and creating inventories) and creating digital access to items added to the digital asset management system. The intern will create detailed documentation of their work to add to KEXP’s archival policies and procedures related to processing, cataloging/description and digitization. Library specific projects will be assigned as needed to help with library backlogs, which can include shelving and cataloging work.

Como se inscrever
Prospective interns complete their applications through an online application portal called Paylocity. Be prepared to submit personal information (e.g. contact info, education history), an up-to-date resume, and answers to a set of screener questions. The screener questions are very important - this is your opportunity to tell us your story. We want to know your goals, skills and perspective, and we want to understand how your experience connects with the internship you are applying for. KEXP does not accept cover letters for internships, so if it is helpful, you can think of the screener questions as a replacement for your cover letter. There are both long answer (1,000 character limit) and multiple choice questions, and we encourage candidates to take their time when developing their answers. Please note that cover letters will not be evaluated if submitted.
The application will ask if you have legal authorization to work in the United States. All interns are required to have U.S. work authorization.
KEXP receives a large volume of applications each year and the application review process takes time. You can expect to hear from us between mid-March and late-April. We appreciate your patience as we give each application the attention it deserves.
