Communications Intern

Make the videos. Launch the podcast. Run the room.

We are a two-person foundation with a full calendar and nobody to tell anyone about it. You would be the person who changes that — doing real work from week one, not shadowing.

Part-time · min. 15 hrs/week Chennai 18+ · students & unschoolers

What you would actually be doing

The content work is the job. The rest supports it.

Turn scripts into video. We hand you AI-drafted scripts — you bring them to life as short-form video in Canva and similar, for Instagram, LinkedIn and beyond.
Help launch our first podcast. This is new ground for us, not an established show. You would help shape the format, record, edit, and get it out.
Own the content calendar across Instagram and LinkedIn — planning it, not just posting to it.
Build promo creatives and reels for Readathon Live, the Relationship Hackathon and the Social Sector Leaders meet-ups.
Write. Event copy, follow-up emails, basic proposal support, and turning our founder’s LinkedIn writing into things that work on our own channels.
Track what is working. Engagement and registrations — not just likes.

An event invitation creative designed in-house for a regenerative living programme — Creatives like this one — you would be making them.

Adults sitting in a circle on the floor of an open hall, in discussion — And filming in rooms like this one.

Also part of the role

Recruit and coordinate volunteers for our events.
Research the market — what comparable retreats and workshops actually charge, so our pricing rests on real numbers.
Coordinate printing end to end: journals, manuals, event materials.
Make outreach calls to prospective participants, volunteers and partners.

Nice to have, genuinely optional

The occasional field day — posters, flyers, in the neighbourhoods around us. If you have an active peer network this tends to be the easy part. It is a bonus, not the job.
Prior podcast or interview experience, or blog writing. Useful. Not expected.

Who this is for

A 2nd or 3rd year college student, any discipline — or an unschooler or homeschooler, 18 or over. We mean that genuinely: supporting alternative paths in learning and living is the core of what we do.
Comfortable with video tools like Canva, and actually interested in growing into interviewing and podcasting. You do not need prior experience — we are building this from scratch and want someone excited to shape it.
Comfortable making phone calls. A real part of this role, not incidental.
In or near Chennai, with your own computer and internet.

Hours and money, plainly

Part-time and flexible, minimum fifteen hours a week.

The first three months are unpaid — a mutual trial, so both sides can see whether this fits. After that, a stipend if it is working. We would much rather this continued than ended at three months.

We are telling you this before you apply rather than after.

What you would get

A real portfolio. Live campaigns and a real podcast — not simulated coursework.
A certificate and a real reference, written from outcomes you actually helped create.
Direct mentorship from both founders, and a front-row seat to how a small organisation really runs.
A function to build, not a template to fill. Including our first ever interview series.

Two people working together over notebooks at a small table — Small table, two chairs. That is what mentorship looks like here.

To apply

Send us four things.

A short note on why this interests you.

A portfolio or samples — video edits, content, writing, anything relevant.

A reference letter from a professor, mentor, or anyone who has supervised your work.

One quick idea. If you had to get ten families within five kilometres of our venue to sign up for a children’s reading circle in the next two weeks — what would you try?
