Events & Community Marketing Intern

About the role

AuraPath AI helps people and organizations actually put AI to work. As part of that, we run and support a fast-growing series of community AI-literacy events in Orange County (talks, live demos, and hands-on sessions, often 100–150 attendees). We have several events coming up this summer and need a hands-on intern to help us create, promote, and run them. This is a real, build-it-together internship — you'll own meaningful pieces of live events from planning through recap and walk away with proof of work, not busywork.

What you'll do

• Event operations & logistics
• Cook up venues, vendors, and supplies (catering runs, name tags, signage, AV checks)
• Manage RSVPs and check-in (we use Luma)
• Build run-of-show / day-of schedules and help things run smoothly on site
• Post-event wrap-up: surveys, attendee follow-up, lessons learned
• Marketing & content
• Promote events across social and email — write invites, captions, and reminders
• Design simple graphics and slides (Canva / Google Slides)
• Build and update event pages and signup forms
• Capture photos/clips and produce recap posts after each event
• Community & partnerships
• Help with outreach to speakers, sponsors, and partner organizations
• Welcome and engage attendees; help newcomers find their people
• Keep our community channels active between events

What we're looking for

• Currently enrolled in a college program and able to receive academic credit for an internship (required — this is a for-credit role)
• Marketing, communications, event management, hospitality, business, or design focus preferred — but any major with the hustle is welcome
• Organized and reliable: follows through, hits deadlines, sweats the details
• Strong written communication and a good eye for clean, on-brand visuals
• Comfortable with everyday tools (Google Workspace, Canva; bonus for Luma, email/newsletter tools, or social scheduling)
• Genuinely curious about AI — not necessarily technical, but excited to learn and use tools like Claude
• Available for occasional in-person events in Orange County (evenings/weekends) and able to get there
• Self-starter who thrives in a small, fast-moving environment

Nice to have

• Prior event or club experience
• Photography/video
• Graphic design
• Social media management
• AI/tech community involvement

What you'll get

• Academic credit — we'll work with your school's internship/co-op office and complete any required learning agreement and evaluations
• Real, portfolio-ready experience running live events from concept to recap
• A letter of recommendation and a genuine professional reference on completion
• Direct mentorship from a founder who is also an Anthropic Claude Ambassador, plus exposure to the AI community, speakers, and sponsors
• Your own Claude subscription to use throughout the internship, plus hands-on experience with modern AI tools
• Real AI-native skills you'll develop — learn to use AI agents and tools to plan, promote, and run events faster and smarter; the practical AI fluency employers are racing to hire for
• Free entry to all our events and a front-row seat to the Orange County AI scene
• Reimbursement of pre-approved out-of-pocket event expenses (e.g., mileage, supplies)
