    Description
    Overview

    AARP is the nation's largest nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to empowering people 50 and older to choose how they live as they age. With a nationwide presence, AARP strengthens communities and advocates for what matters most to the more than 100 million Americans 50-plus and their families: health security, financial stability and personal fulfillment. AARP also produces the nation's largest circulation publications: AARP The Magazine and AARP Bulletin.

    Are you a communication, journalism, or marketing/PR student passionate about telling stories, finding innovative ways to reach target audiences, and bringing a voice to advocate for people in need? Then, the AARP Illinois' Communications team is looking for you Our team handles all the internal and external messaging for AARP Illinois, which caters to 1.7 million members and all older adults across the state. Don't let the (incorrect) "older adult" stereotype fool you - in fact, help us combat that stereotype with cutting-edge resources, you-dream-it-let's-do-it attitudes, and a team of intelligent people, fun-loving, hard-working colleagues. This paid internship starts in the Fall of 2024 and ends at the end of the year, with the possibility of extending for additional semesters.

  • Interview volunteers and other outstanding Illinoisans age 50+ and compose profiles
  • Assist with press efforts, including pitching media, submitting events to community calendars

    Qualifications

  • Must be enrolled in a degree program at an accredited college/university rising undergraduate juniors or seniors, graduate students, or post-doctoral students and remain academically enrolled throughout the internship or must have previously graduated from college and enrolled in a continuing education program
  • The ideal candidate will be a self-starter, highly organized, able to multi-task many projects simultaneously and manage time to keep up with concurrent deadlines.
  • Familiarity with graphic design (primarily through Canva) and social media influencer campaigns is a plus
