Why

This is a part-time (16 hrs/week) unpaid marketing and communications internship at a San Diego downtown nonprofit partnership. It is unpaid and in person in San Diego while she lives in San Francisco, which makes it impractical during senior year. Her social media and content work at the gallery, plus her event coordination with Encinitas Friends of the Arts, would be relevant, but the work has no link to mental health, research, UX, or victim services, her priority lanes. It is not an exceptional program, so the unpaid status is not justified, and no conversion to full-time is signaled.

Watch out for

• Posting explicitly says unpaid; the aggregator salary figure (34646.81) conflicts with this and looks like an artifact
• In-person in downtown San Diego, but she lives in San Francisco, so it is not workable during the school year
• Marketing and communications for a downtown business improvement district, not mental health, research, or victim services
• No conversion path to full-time work indicated
• Description is truncated, so the full duties and requirements are not visible

Resume angles

• Ran Instagram content strategy at Susan Street Fine Art
• Event Coordinator for Encinitas Friends of the Arts: logistics and community outreach
• Wrote persuasive proposals and presentations for corporate clients
