Skateistan is seeking an enthusiastic individual with a passion for non-profit work to join our team as a Communications Intern in a part-time, six-month volunteer position. We can be flexible around the number of hours you work and we will consider candidates in Berlin or remotely, but you must be able to work in the Berlin timezone (CET).

 The position offers the successful candidate the opportunity to build experience and to gain insight into the workings of an international NGO that is recognized for its innovation in the field of sport for development.

Position Core Responsibilities:

  • Photo and video editing, using assets which are sent in from our Skate Schools
  • Updating and organizing our asset database, making it easy to find the content we need
