Since 1984, Share Our Strength® has led the fight against hunger and poverty by inspiring and organizing individuals and businesses to share their strengths. Today, through the No Kid Hungry campaign, Share Our Strength is ending childhood hunger in America by ensuring all children get the healthy food they need. No child should go hungry in America – we’re on our way to making that a reality and we want you to join us. We’re bold, creative, always open to new ideas and 100% dedicated to our mission. If that sounds like you, we’d like you to consider becoming part of our team.

One of the many things that sets our organization apart is our strong commitment to telling the story of our work and those we serve, from digital video and photography to blogs, social media, and more. With 1 in 5 kids in the U.S. facing hunger this year, telling these stories is more important than ever. The Digital Content intern will help create and curate the content that our colleagues and online channels need to advance our brand, raise funds, and drive awareness of the No Kid Hungry campaign’s work to end childhood hunger in America.
