The Literate Mother

Description

The Literate Mother is a new website that is a great resource for parents. At TheLiterateMother.org we objectively rate youth and young adult literature (grades 4 - 12) on a scale of 0 - 5 in the areas of language, violence, sexual content and adult themes. With this information, parents and teachers can pinpoint discussion topics and steer their children and students toward appropriate literature. Whether you would like to guide your children more in their book selections, or just want to be informed on the subject matter to which your young reader is exposed, you will find help on TheLiterateMother.org.

We are currently on target to have a readership of 20,000 per annum.

Zinch.com

Description

We are looking for 3-4 student interns to make an immediate impact with the messaging from colleges to students. Starting the end of Jan., or when able, you will help create and edit messages per the specification requests of colleges. Zinch students will receive these messages and start interacting with the colleges. You will have the responsibility to properly represent the college to the high school students. Most messages are 3-5 short paragraphs long. The messages must be persuasive, engaging and to the point. High school students have short attention spans and colleges have a lot to share. We need to present the info in a way that engages the student with the college encouraging them to learn more from that college.

Compensation

None

Qualifications

Hours: Flexible. You will have the option to work remotely or in the offices once properly trained. You can work early morning, late night or during the day. As your responsibility will be to write/edit messages, we care about the quality of the messages, not where or when you do it. Close communication is still necessary if not working in the offices. Meeting once a week in the offices will be required.

Application Process

Please send any questions/inquiries to brad@zinch.com who will help you get started and clear up any other questions you still have.
