Social Media Intern Fall 2026

Make-A-Wish® Southern Florida has a sole mission: Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Started in 1983 by the Plantation Junior Woman's Club, the Southern Florida chapter has grown from granting a wish every 180 days to granting a wish every 14 hours. In its 43-year history, the organization has granted more than 15,000 wishes. Make-A-Wish Southern Florida serves children and families in 22 Florida counties in Southeast and Southwest Florida, the Tampa Bay and Suncoast regions and the U.S. Virgin Islands. To learn more about how you can help make wishes come true, visit us on the web at sfla.wish.org. You can also connect with us @makeawishsfla on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram.

The Social Media Intern will support the Brand Advancement Team at Make-A-Wish Southern Florida by assisting with the creation, research, and execution of social media content across multiple platforms. This internship offers hands-on experience in a collaborative, mission-driven non-profit environment and provides insight into a career supporting brand storytelling and community engagement.

The ideal candidate is self-motivated, detail-oriented, and has strong written and verbal communication skills. Experience with social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, X, Threads, TikTok, and YouTube/YouTube Shorts is strongly encouraged, along with an interest in research, trend monitoring, and story writing.

This opportunity is well-suited for students pursuing degrees in Marketing, Communications, Journalism, or related fields with an emphasis on writing, though all majors are welcome to apply. Interns must be able to work from one of our regional offices (Miami, Southwest Florida, Suncoast, or Tampa).

This internship provides valuable real-world experience while supporting Make-A-Wish Southern Florida’s mission to create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
