As a Graphic Design Intern, you'll be working directly with each and every team at CariClub (Business Development, Nonprofit Engagement, Member Engagement, and with our CEO). You'll start by getting familiar with our current branding and style guide. Ideally your skills with vector illustrations will enhance and extend our brand while aligning with its general theme. You will then have the opportunity to meet and get to know the mission and operations of each team within the CariClub organization. You will use this knowledge to understand the materials each team uses to accomplish its goals. Working with each team you will leverage your design skills to overhaul marketing materials used within each department, so that they better accomplish their objective in a simple and on-brand way. We want you to be extremely detail-oriented, ask thoughtful questions, and proactively bring suggestions to the table.
