Summer Internship Opportunity with the Solar Energy Industries Association: Social Media Intern

Want to spend your summer on the front lines of the fight for renewable energy? Have a 

passion for online advocacy? We're looking for a social media intern to help our digital media 

team expand our online presence on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and beyond. You'll work with 

SEIA's staff in government affairs, communications, events and other departments to share 

solar news, promote SEIA events and publications, and help us build our online community of 

solar advocates.

 

Successful applicants will have a background in communications, journalism, public relations, 

new media, or marketing. Passionate and Internet-savvy advocates with policy backgrounds are

some solid social media experience (though we don't expect professional experience). 

Duties will include assisting our digital media team in monitoring, engaging with and responding 

to solar energy discussions on social networks; tracking industry events, policy activity, and SEIA 

announcements; working with the digital media team to plan and implement our social media 

strategy; working with various departments to identify opportunities to promote SEIA and the 

organization's products and services.

Compensation: A transportation stipend is available.
