SOCIAL MEDIA MICRO-INFLUENCER INTERN 

This is a paid opportunity. Work is remote.

The Wisconsin Coalition on Student Debt is a nonprofit organization representing a range of concerned organizations and stakeholders who seek to increase clarity around the key issues of student debt, college affordability, and loan repayment.

Interns will gain the invaluable opportunity to build nonprofit communications and digital social media experience through professional connections while building a social media following for our cause that will help students in Wisconsin and even nationwide.
