******************************* CARE USA is seeking an intern to support the work of its Media Productions Unit. The intern will formulate a kit to be provided to individuals volunteering to host a screening of A Powerful Noise, a feature-length documentary set to promote the women’s empowerment platform adopted by CARE. This inspiring film follows three extraordinary women – in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Mali and Vietnam – as they overcome barriers to lead day-to-day battles against ignorance, poverty, oppression and ethnic strife. The “hosting kit” should be consistent with the major and minor themes of the documentary and supplement any screening of the video. The hosting kit should not only promote the documentary but also be an outreach tool that provides viewers the opportunity to advocate for the causes underlying CARE and the documentary. As well as using the guidance of the Media Productions Unit (MPU) and the outline of the film, the intern is expected to draw on knowledge and experiences garnered thus far from his/her academic studies. The intern is encouraged to use any research garnered from this assignment for his/her own personal studies. General Duties: Provide input on the composition and basic structure of the kit. Use sample hosting kits and other CARE resources as models for this project. Conduct necessary background research for the hosting kit. Fashion an “evergreen” kit that is both inspiring and effective. Key Responsibilities: Create various components of the hosting kit including (but not limited to) a planning guide, a discussion guide, talking points, a list of action steps, fact sheets, signup/ pledge sheets, initiative templates, and press release templates. REQUIREMENTS: Undergraduate or graduate student with strong writing skills. Independent worker able to be part of a team as well as work independently. Some familiarity with advocacy event planning would be a plus. Excellent interpersonal/ intercultural communication skills.
