Operations Intern
Internship – Begins Fall 2025
Young Storytellers sparks creative self-discovery through storytelling. Our programs highlight young people as the center of their own narratives, emphasize that their stories matter, and celebrate their unique voices as the ones telling them. Young Storytellers works towards a future where young people experience the impact that their thoughts, feelings, and words can have on the world in which they live.
Young Storytellers works with students in elementary, middle, and high school. In elementary school, students write scripts that are completely their own; in middle school, students write stories about challenges that they face; and in high school, students explore how various communities are portrayed in the media and craft stories that they feel represent their self-identified communities. Students in each program work with volunteer mentors, and every student gets to see their work performed by professional actors. Young Storytellers programs are designed around Common Core standards, integrate Social and Emotional Learning activities, and include components of Learning for Justice's Social Justice Standards.
The Operations Intern works with Young Storytellers staff to execute a wide range of tasks, including database uploads, providing content and social media support, and inputting weekly student, donor, and volunteer information. The Operations Intern helps to build out the operations and development side of the organization by keeping all of the information in our custom database up-to-date for our team's use and providing information so that we can tell the story of our volunteer, donor, and student engagement through data. All YS Interns are encouraged to explore and integrate the YS values of belonging, connection, exploration, play, antiracism, and equity into their projects and daily tasks.
