Indiana Humanities is a statewide nonprofit that encourages Hoosiers to think, read and talk. We offer an exciting and challenging internship opportunity for a hard-working and self-motivated individual who is a skilled videographer and photographer.

Previous interns have gone on to work at nonprofits and businesses such as Cummins, Downtown Indy, Interactive Intelligence and YELP.

Primary responsibilities will be to create and edit videos and take photos of events, grantees and participants. Additional multimedia assistance may be requested in the form of graphic design, basic web updates, sizing images for social media, and more. Some travel will be required but is reimbursable and/or could be arranged with another staff member. Indiana Humanities is a statewide nonprofit dedicated to promoting the public humanities. We are a grant maker, a neutral convener, a facilitator, program partner and much more. We strive for an Indiana where the humanities belong to everyone, where action is rooted in insight and where community grows from conversation. Like all members of the Indiana Humanities team, this professional should be committed to our mission and exhibit our values of inclusivity, curiosity, community, creativity and partnership.
