Internship Overview: The intern will help River City Disc Golf Club capitalize on the momentum in the Greater Richmond disc golf scene. We need to showcase our work in the community better as an organization, as well as increase membership. Additionally, our communication with members has room for improvement.

Internship Responsibilities

Social Media Strategy - Currently, we only manage our communication through Facebook groups. RCDGC would benefit from our own page on Facebook to go with our Instagram. Creating a content strategy that's focused on increasing membership is a long-term goal of the internship. (2 hours per week)

Wordpress Website Updates - We have a plethora of content pages planned for the website. Assist us in bringing those visions to fruition! We'll work with you to help you understand on-page and technical SEO best practices for this portion. (1 hour per week)

Email Communication - Assist RCDGC in writing our monthly newsletter. We also have ad hoc emails to our members for things like special events averaging an additional two emails per month. (2 hours per week)

Signage and Print Media - Assist RCDGC in engaging casual players. We have a massively untapped audience that only likes to play one course and don't use social media. (1 hour per week)

Reporting and Analytics - It's only good if people are reading it, right? By assessing social media, newsletter, and website performance through monthly reporting, we will help the intern craft action items & client-specific best practices based on KPIs. (1 hour per week)

Qualifications:
Ability to work ~8 hours per week, with some flexibility.
Desire to learn about a growing grassroots sport.
Interest in learning about social media, email, and website strategy
Collaborators welcomed - We're open to fresh ideas

Compensation:
Promotional materials from events (branded tee shirts and golf discs)
Complimentary headshots
$100
