EDUCATION INTERN – SUMMER 2023 

KERA is looking for an intern for Summer 2023 to help the Education team with projects to provide meaningful learning opportunities for families and young children across North Texas.

KERA reaches more than 2 million people weekly through KERA TV, KERA News, KXT, WRR and Art&Seek. For more than 60 years, North Texans have turned to KERA as a destination for trusted educational programming and initiatives, community engagement and lifelong learning. 

As we seek to recognize and reflect the increasing diversity among our audiences, we encourage applicants from diverse backgrounds and with diverse perspectives to consider employment opportunities at KERA.  

POSITION SUMMARY: 

Our organization is in the process of developing several new learning programs for young children, using high-quality resources from PBS and other trusted sources. We also collaborate with community partners to extend our reach to schools, families, and communities across the region, particularly in underserved areas. This reflects KERA’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in our ongoing effort to serve diverse audiences and create a culture of belonging.  

The position is FLSA classified as non-exempt and will report directly to the Education Director.

Qualified applicants must be current students (in an accredited degree program) or have graduated no more than 12 months prior to the start of the internship. Spanish bilingual is a plus.  

You should have knowledge of public media and social media practices, plus strong writing skills and website design and implementation. Also, fluency in English and Spanish or another language common in North Texas.
