About our
Internships
As Shine Global is a small company, interns are very involved in everything that goes on in our office. This provides them with the opportunity to be exposed to the inside workings of independent film production at a variety of stages. Shine Global is also a non-profit and interns also work with Shine Global in this capacity, providing insight into the workings of a non-profit organization. This can be a hybrid position if based in NYC, or a fully remote position if elsewhere.
For all internships positions we are looking for candidates that:
- Are an undergraduate student of an accredited college or university
- Be able to dedicate 2-3 days a week
- Have at least 3.0 GPA
- Are interested in social advocacy, educational outreach, non-profit business, and/or media
- Have excellent organizational, communication, writing skills, and research skills.
- Be familiar with MAC OS, Microsoft Office, social networking, and internet research
- Must be able to work independently and meet deadlines with little supervision
- Must have your own computer or access to a computer and internet to work remotely.
All internships are unpaid but we will work with you to receive college credit if you need it.
