Company Description: The Prison Flow Project is dedicated to advancing justice for menstruators in places of confinement across the United States. As one of the few organizations focused on this issue, it provides critical information and resources on a topic that has long been overlooked. We fight for justice for vulnerable menstruators through advocacy, community-led research, and support for further research on periods in places of confinement.
We value equity, rigor, and collaboration, offering interns the opportunity to contribute to impactful, research-informed advocacy in a specialized field of social justice.
Role Description: This part-time, remote Communications Intern role supports the organization’s public-facing and internal communications. Day-to-day tasks may include drafting social media posts, monthly newsletters, and website content to highlight research findings and advocacy initiatives. The intern may help write, edit, and distribute press releases and media materials, and assist in developing strategic communications plans for campaigns and projects.
Additional responsibilities can include supporting internal communications, curating a communications contact list, maintaining content calendars, monitoring relevant media and academic coverage, and participating in virtual team meetings. This role is ideal for someone interested in social justice, public interest communications, and learning how to communicate about complex issues clearly and respectfully.
Qualifications
Strong Communication and Writing skills, with the ability to convey complex information clearly and accessibly.
Experience or interest in Press Releases and Strategic Communications, including basic media outreach or campaign messaging.
Ability to support Internal Communications, such as drafting updates, organizing information, and maintaining shared documentation.
Commitment to social justice, intersectionality, human rights, or criminal legal system reform, and sensitivity to issues affecting incarcerated populations.
Strong attention to detail, organization, and time management, with the ability to meet deadlines in a remote setting.
Comfort using common digital tools (e.g., email, word processing, shared drives; familiarity with social media platforms such as LinkedIn, Facebook, BlueSky, and Instagram is beneficial).
Currently enrolled in or recently graduated from a program in Communications, Journalism, Public Policy, Social Sciences, or a related field is preferred, but not required.
Individuals with personal experience with the criminal justice system are encouraged to apply!
