FILED UNDER:Internships & Fellowships

POSITION: Spring Semester Communications Intern, NYC-PEU (paid)

ORGANIZATION: NYC Mayor’s Public Engagement Unit (PEU)

About PEU: The NYC Public Engagement Unit (PEU) was created to develop a new model for government outreach, using community organizing principles to re-envision how the City provides services to its most vulnerable communities. Rather than expecting constituents to navigate a complex City bureaucracy to get the help they need, PEU adopts grassroots tactics to meet residents where they are – at their doors and on their phones, in their social media feeds and in their communities. PEU combines this proactive outreach with comprehensive case management, and in doing so, combats disillusionment and builds long-term relationships between New Yorkers and their government.

PEU’s programs are delivered by four outreach teams:

  • Tenant Support Unit – The Tenant Support Unit (TSU) provides free information on tenants’ rights, assistance navigating housing-related issues, and connection to a range of resources, including the Tenant Resource Portal, anti-eviction legal assistance, the home repairs program, and rent freeze and homeowner tax exemption programs.
  • Home Support Unit – The Home Support Unit (HSU) conducts outreach to rental owners and brokers in order to identify vacant homes for voucher holders living in shelters. HSU supports owners and brokers throughout the lease-up process, improving their experience with rental subsidies so that they continue to provide units to voucher recipients in the future.
  • GetCoveredNYC – GetCoveredNYC provides free assistance for New Yorkers seeking to enroll in health care, regardless of immigration status or income. Our Specialists speak more than 20 languages and conduct outreach to proactively identify uninsured New Yorkers and help them get access to health care and other health-related benefits.
  • Special Projects Team –  As the City’s in-house “campaign” experts, PEU’s Special Projects Team leverages interagency resources, City staff volunteers, and technology in agile and creative ways to design and implement new outreach strategies for the City’s most pressing initiatives. Throughout the pandemic, PEU coordinated special projects connecting New Yorkers to a range of benefits and services, including vaccine appointments, free tax prep, the Child Tax Credit, the Affordable Connectivity Program, COVID recovery meals, and more.

Job Description PEU communications interns will work approximately 25 hours per week (up to a maximum 69 hours every 2 weeks) and receive ongoing training to assist PEU’s Communications Director and PEU’s outreach teams, while building professional skills.

Responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

  • Scanning and compiling daily media reports for stories relevant to PEU’s core work
  • Supporting the development of press releases, statements, advisories, columns, op-eds, talking points, and internal briefings

  • Creating social media toolkits for agency and community partners
  • Designing social media graphics and flyers to be distributed by PEU outreach teams
  • Generating and revising copy for websites when needed
  • Tracking and circulating relevant news clips to various PEU team members
  • Supporting the Communications Director, Senior Advisor for Communications, Chief of Staff, and Deputy Chief of Staff
  • Entering, tracking and analyzing data
  • Working with translators on content translation and proofreading
  • Joining team meetings and program planning sessions
  • Supporting outreach efforts to New Yorkers through remote outreach tactics, including peer-to-peer texting, phone banking and relational organizing
  • Assisting staff with special projects

Qualifications

  • Strong written and oral communication skills
  • Ability to effectively manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced work environment
  • Willingness to learn, adapt and problem solver
  • Experience with social media or managing press relations in a professional setting or through a student experience (such as for a student group) is a plus
