Description

Company Description OUR NATIONAL CONVERSATION (OurNationalConversation.org, or ONC for short) is a nonpartisan political conversation site devoted to balanced and civil conversations designed to make America a better country. Republicans, Democrats and Independents –all are all welcome at ONC. Our motto: “less hate, more debate.” We are largely powered by Gen Z students – America’s future leaders – who produce articles, events, podcasts and more. Experienced professionals mentor our students. Though many applaud our mission, OUR NATIONAL CONVERSATION is not well-known. It’s time to change that. We need to add more excitement to our mix. Our students tend to be very earnest policy wonks – kinda dry – and we need to do more to produce content that can go viral. Both types of content are complementary and compatible. We have some ideas for short videos we think will work. We need high-energy actors to bring them to life. Job Description We seek 3-4 drama, theater and debate major types. We want you to the “the face” of ONC and act out short videos and other content. We’ve done some of this in the past, quite successfully, but as interns come and go, sometimes good ideas get left along the roadside. This is something one of our interns, Megan Amato, used to do. It’s called “Explain That to Me Again?” It was quite good and generated a lot of traffic. Want to be our next Megan Amato? Another intern, Sam Taylor, used to dress up like Uncle Sam and ask a question of the day: We are looking for a new Uncle Sam. In addition to our ideas, we want your ideas. We are looking for new creative energy coming from those who understand a “Saturday Night Live” vibe (only we want to be equal opportunity offenders, poking clean fun at liberals, moderates and conservatives alike). There is no pay at this time. That said, you WILL get excellent hands-on experience and the chance to really build your resume. Who knows? Maybe this will be your big break. We won’t know till we try. Be ready to commit to four to 6 hours a week. We are completely remote and use Slack, Google Drive and Zoom to communicate. There are two, half hour to one-hour mandatory meetings each week. We operate on a semester basis; if you can commit to at least two or three semesters, that’s a big plus. Please send a 2-4 paragraph cover letter along with a resume and any links to video clips or social media posts you think are relevant. Tell us “Why you?” – and why ONC appeals to you. We look forward to hearing from you Additional Information All your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines.

Responsibilities
