Position Summary

Good360 is looking for a Digital Marketing Intern to support our Website Manager for an 8-week summer internship (mid-June through mid-August 2026). This is a hands-on, execution-focused role for someone who wants to build real digital marketing and web skills in a mission-driven environment.

You will contribute directly to Good360's digital marketing efforts across three defined areas: content publishing and formatting, SEO optimization, and brand alignment across web pages. By the end of the internship, you will have a portfolio-ready body of published work and a practical understanding of how digital strategy supports a nonprofit organization's mission.

This role is part of Good360's Marketing & Communications team and offers direct mentorship from the Website Manager through weekly 1:1 check-ins and structured feedback throughout the program.

Key Responsibilities include, but are not limited to the following

Content Publishing & Page Formatting

  • Format and publish blogs, press releases, and impact stories in WordPress following Good360's design standards and brand guidelines
  • Apply consistent heading structure, media guidelines, and layout formatting across content pages
  • Maintain accuracy and quality across all published content, flagging discrepancies to the Website Manager

SEO Optimization

  • Complete Yoast SEO fields for new and existing posts: meta titles, meta descriptions, image alt text, and social sharing previews
  • Conduct keyword research to support ongoing content and SEO strategy
  • Deliver a structured SEO audit report by Week 6, summarizing gaps and opportunities

Web Page Quality & Brand Consistency

  • Review and update existing web pages to align with Good360's current brand standards and visual guidelines
  • Apply updates consistently using a defined style guide within a structured scope
  • Maintain an issues log documenting inconsistencies and proposed solutions; present findings to the Website Manager at program close

  • A front-row view of how digital strategy supports a mission-driven organization

What We're Looking For

  • Dependable & Communicative:You follow through, meet deadlines, and flag issues early. You communicate clearly and don't let things fall through the cracks.
  • Attention to Detail:Web publishing and SEO work rewards care. Typos, broken formatting, and missed fields have real impact. You notice things.
