Marketing & Communications Interns

First Person Arts

First Person Arts is a Philadelphia nonprofit organization that unleashes the power of voice by developing true personal stories from artists and everyday people for the page, stage, on-air and online.  Our StorySlams, Applied Storytelling, and First Person Arts Festival programs reinforce our mission to “transform the drama of real-life into memoir and documentary art to foster an appreciation for our unique and shared experiences.”  By sharing these stories we connect with each other and the world.

First Person Arts is looking to continue that storytelling tradition with a Marketing and Communications intern for the spring.  You will be engaged prior to and during the Spring season from April - August.
