Dear Applicant,

Ignite Your Technical Passion and Join Our Dynamic Team!

The data analysis and social media marketing internship is aimed at developing and fostering analytical skills. Interns will perform, evaluate, and present relevant information from both descriptive and predictive statistical analysis. They will analyze discrete and continuous quantitative social media data by using different techniques, including but not limited to linear regression, correlations, Bayesian networks, and decision trees. Interns will also propose an algorithmic framework to use a predictive model based on previously collected data. This model will estimate the expected performance of our social media accounts and characterize the content that has been successful (posts, reels, and stories).

Applying Data Analysis to Social Media Strategy

Based on the analysis, interns are expected to apply insightful recommendations to our social media accounts, including Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, and TikTok. They will then be responsible for creating posts, reels, and stories that foster our presence and reach a wider audience. All content will align with the overall purpose of our nonprofit organization to preserve and advance Yiddish language and culture in the US and worldwide.

Benefits and Opportunities

Our interns receive free access to all YAAANA and Yiddishland California events and classes. They also gain entry to the YAAANA and Yiddishland California archives. Internships are unpaid but can be taken for college credit. We offer both in-person and remote options.

• Familiarity with social media platforms and their analytics tools, including Meta Business Suite (MBS).

• R programming skills (desired).

• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
