Magazine –Marketing/Communications Assistant for Dance Section– VOLUNTEER

 

10+ hours/week

 

 

 

Picture This Post magazine, www.picturethispost.com, alerts time-strapped readers to cultural offerings that are the best match for their interests in art, books, dance, film, museums, music, theater, as well as travel with a focus on culture. We not only cover culture creators and venues with high name recognition, but also delight in helping to showcase bold, creative strokes by fledgling artists in all genres.

 

This student volunteer position will teach you how to represent a magazine to its various stakeholders—readers and the culture creators we profile.  While not listed as an “internship” position, most of our past and current student volunteers concur that the training and educational opportunities in this and other Picture This Post volunteer positions far exceeds that of most internship jobs. The more time you put into this experience the more you will get out of it.

 

This position focuses on a specific dance beat. You do not need to be an “expert”, but for this position you should have a keen interest in dance and choreography.
