PhillyCam Internships

PhillyCAM offers internships to provide high school, college and graduate-level students an opportunity to learn professional methods of media production, non-profit program development and management, and the value of community-generated media.

PhillyCAM is a small non-profit organization that depends heavily on the work of its volunteers and interns. From donor database development work to remote video productions, there are a variety of learning experiences that can help people develop solid skills in the areas of digital video production/ post-production, media education, fundraising and event planning, and digital video distribution/social network marketing.

General Information: Interns are expected to work a minimum of 15 hours a week during an 8 to 10 week internship period. Internships are offered during the Summer, Fall, and Winter/Spring semesters. A documented agreement between PhillyCAM and the student’s educational institution must be made in order for the student to receive academic credit. All interns are subject to applicable PhillyCAM employee policies.

Internship Positions Available: PhillyCAM is currently seeking highly qualified students to assist in production and administration areas. These internships are ideal for individuals interested in gaining experience in non-profit arts administration and digital video production.

Eligibility: A candidate must be a high school, undergraduate or graduate student. Internships for high school students are only offered during Fall and Winter/Spring semesters. Students receiving academic credit or service-learning hours for their internship are strongly encouraged to apply.

Application Procedures: Candidates must complete an internship application form and submit it with a resume and cover letter, which clearly indicates why the student is interested in an internship at PhillyCAM. Applicants interested in assisting with production activities are required to submit a demo reel of his/her current media work. All application items must be submitted as a complete package.
