Voice of Youth Blogging Internship 2015
Are you between the ages of 14 and 24?
Do you care about social, cultural, political and economic issues? Are
you interested in improving your blogging and digital media skills?
This
is your chance to apply for a 4 months blogging internship with Voices
of Youth – UNICEF’s vibrant online youth community. The 4-month
internship offers you (young people aged 14-24) an opportunity to
develop your writing, research and critical thinking skills and allows
you to connect with other engaged young people around the world in
global dialogue.
We are looking for 10-15 young people
from across the world – fluent in English [Spanish/French] – who will
blog at least once a week and participate in online discussions on the
platform. In total, about 30-40 interns will be selected to participate
in the April internship. Due to the high demand and limited number of
spaces available, Voices of Youth will only contact candidates that were
selected for the internship.
Benefits:
During
the internship you will receive regular feedback on your writing, get
access to tips & tricks on how to write a good blog post and
exchange ideas with other blogging interns. At the end of the internship
you will have improved your blogging skills, gained new insights into
global development issues and been connected to a network of
international young bloggers.
Eligibility:
- You are between 14 and 24 years old
- You
are fluent in written English [Spanish/French] – it’s no problem if
English [Spanish/French] is not your first language, but you should be
comfortable writing in English [Spanish/French].
- You will be able to access the Internet at least once a week to blog, comment and participate in debates.
- You are available to start the internship in April 2015.
Please note that this internship is by remote participation – so you will NOT be required to travel anywhere.
Application:
To apply, please fill out the
Google form by 15 March 2015.
