Internships

Do Work That Actually Matters.

Legacy Youth Leadership (“Legacy”) is a nonprofit organization that is building better leaders who will build a better world. Legacy knows that young people are not just the future, they are the present. Legacy provides free youth leadership and mentoring programs that teach students how to use their time, their money, their voice, and their vote so they can be leaders today. Legacy’s Programs develop, mentor, and equip young people with the skills they need to reach their academic goals, make a REAL impact on the world around them, and thrive.

We’re building a best-in-class team, ready to roll up their sleeves (or their skinny jeans) and grow with us. We believe in hiring interns who are smart, solution-oriented, a little weird, and ambitious. We are looking for someone with Southern charm, a Midwestern work-ethic and a Silicon Valley brain.

You’ll get to work alongside every member of our tight-knit fun-obsessed team while learning how a student-led organization is built from the ground up.

Our intern philosophy:
- We pay interns. Meaningful, best-in-class work deserves to be compensated. We’ll give you a stipend for your work with us.
- Interns do real, meaningful work that contribute to our mission. You can bring us coffee if you want, but it’s not a requirement.
- Interns have specific, measurable goals. We’ll push you to do a lot so you learn a lot.
- Interns are fam. You’ll be part of our family now and forever. You’ll play a significant role in building and maintaining our office culture. Bring your weird.
- Interns make the best employees. As we grow, we’ll give priority to our interns for any open positions.

  • Title: Digital Marketing Intern
    Supervisor: Director of Marketing

    Do you LIVE on social media? Are you OBSESSED with the latest digital creators who are shaping culture today? Do you think not only about how to create the tastiest CONTENT on your social channels but also, how to build community by engaging with your network in meaningful ways? Are you familiar with leading youth nonprofits & for-profit corporations impacting our world today?

    Most importantly, you’ve gotta love young people and know what young people love. We exist to serve young people, mainly students, so you must be with it on all of the latest trends or social platform updates, algorithms, and tracking strategies. With that being said, we are looking for YOU, a kick-butt social media guru and great communicator. Like we said before, you need to be OBSESSIVE about Grammar accuracy (we can’t position ourselves as an authoritative source for students or corporate partners if we’re sloppy)
