Job Description

NOTE: If you're going to apply to this position, please include a paragraph describing your experience and why you'd be a good fit, thanks!!

We’re looking for an intern/volunteer to help us start a TikTok and YouTube channel that gives real, unfiltered advice to people facing prison time. The content will feature current and former prisoners offering insights, warnings, and survival strategies — in their own words.

This is a volunteer unpaid internship but we'll be able to offer a small stipend after 2 months of working with us.

Who We Are:

PrisonWriters.com is a nonprofit that publishes stories written by incarcerated people. Since 2015, we've helped thousands of writers behind bars share their voices and expose the realities of prison life. Now, we're taking that storytelling to a new platform — short-form video.

What You’ll Be Doing:

🎬 Helping launch our TikTok and YouTube presence from the ground up

📹 Brainstorming and creating content — from scripting and editing to posting and strategy

🧠 Bringing your vision: This is a collaborative, highly creative role with lots of room to experiment

🎯 Designing content that is engaging , shareable , and authentic — with real impact

📈 Helping us grow a following and build a visual identity that aligns with our mission

Who You Are:

  • You’re obsessed with short-form video content and what makes it go viral
  • You have a portfolio of past work — TikToks, Reels, YouTube Shorts, or full-length content
  • You’re a self-starter with strong creative instincts and sharp storytelling skills
  • You care about justice, advocacy, or just giving a platform to voices that often go unheard
  • Bonus: You know how to work with transcripts, remote interviews, or repurposing text into video
  • You are available to work for 10-15 hours a week over the next few months. 

Why This Matters:

Tens of thousands of people enter prison every year with no real idea of what they’re walking into. We want to change that — and you could help lead the charge.

To Apply:

Send us a short note, your resume (or LinkedIn), and links to your video work. If you have big ideas, we want to hear them.

Let’s make something that actually helps people — and gets seen.
