Pay: $15/hour
Hours: 20–25 hours/week
Term: 12–16 weeks (summer or semester; extension possible)

Why this internship is different

This is not a “watch and learn” internship. You’ll help run a real content engine across multiple formats—video, podcast, newsletter, and customer-facing copy—for a brand at the intersection of education, gaming, and community.

You’ll leave with a portfolio that includes:

Short-form video (Reels/TikTok/Shorts)

Podcast clips + episode assets

Newsletter issues (and the strategy behind them)

Marketing copy you can show (captions, promos, landing copy, etc.)

About The Game Room Club

The Game Room Club builds safe, high-energy “third space” experiences where youth and families connect through gaming, creativity, and community. Through our Learn & Play K–12 STEAM labs, community pop-ups, and trainings, we’re proving that learning can be fun, social, and meaningful.

Clean workflow: organized files, reliable deadlines, minimal rework

Who you are

Are comfortable being on camera or willing to get there (helpful, not required)
