Cinnamongirl Program Manager and Program Marketing & Communications
Coordinator Interns:
A blueprint of the program has already been created and some
of the planning of the workshops has been outlined. The main
work involves coordination of people, places and activities within
those workshops that have not yet been confirmed. With much of
the work already completed, it is not certain how much of a time commitment
this will be. Some weeks may be heavier than others. For instance,
planning and coordination of a workshop may take 5 hours per
week. However, 1 or 2 weeks before the event, you may find that
you are spending 8-10 hours per week.
80% of the work for this position can be done virtually, while
20% of the work is done via attending the CGI meetings/workshops,
which are two per month.
