Position:
The Healthy Schools Campaign is seeking a part-time Writer & Communications Specialist to work approximately 10 hours per week to support the organization’s development and external communications efforts. The individual will research, write and edit grant proposals, reports, electronic newsletters, web content and other materials for audiences including foundations, government agencies, corporations, community advocates, parents and individuals working in schools. This individual must be a strong communicator who is able to write in a variety of styles for different audiences.

Background:
The Healthy Schools Campaign, a vibrant and growing not for profit organization dedicated to making schools healthier places in which to learn and work, is an increasingly powerful voice for people who care about our environment, our children, and education.

HSC believes that all stakeholders—including teachers, students, parents, administrators and school nurses—must have a voice in decisions that affect the school environment. HSC’s ability to effectively articulate its mission, vision and program activities is crucial to the advancement of the organization’s policy platform and its success in engaging a broad base of individuals in these efforts.

Qualifications:
A Bachelor’s Degree. Very strong writing skills and at least two years of post-college experience demonstrating those skills in a professional environment are required.

Imagination seeks editorial interns. Our summer internship program is open to college upperclassmen, recent college graduates and graduate students. It will last approximately 12 weeks (with an open to continue for a second semester) and we provide a transportation stipend along with a weekly meal allowance.

As an intern you’ll get a chance to gain firsthand insight into the creative and business side of the publishing process by working with – and learning from – our 50 talent staffers. You won’t fetch anyone’s coffee but your own.

One of the best things about working here is variety – we have projects and publications in markedly different subject areas, so you’ll be able to explore different topics and audiences. Regular guidance and feedback is built into the internship. Halfway through your time here, you will receive a review to help you identify areas of strength and ways you can grow.

At Imagination, we are passionate about delivering innovative and quality work to our customers. We work hard, and we’re proud of what we create. But we also like to relax and celebrate our accomplishments. Whenever our new business development lands a new account, our president bangs a gong and we grab our champagne glasses and head to the conference room for some bubbly. Throughout the year, we go to baseball games, walk for charity, work out in our private on-site gym, and throw the best annual holiday party in the West Loop.

We know how to work together and how to play together; it’s obvious that there is an energy and camaraderie here that makes us a cohesive team. We hope that you’ll explore internship opportunities with Imagination. After all, how many offices do you know of that have a gong in their foyer?
