Would you like to develop skills in journalism, social media content creation, or digital development while working on an impactful project?

Hub is looking for new interns to join our team!

About the Program

Hub is an online magazine aimed at 15-22 year olds in South Australia. Hub is run by a team of interns, aged 18-22, on behalf of the Commissioner of Children and Young People SA, Helen Connolly. The Commissioner has heard from young people that they don’t feel seen by or represented in mainstream media, so Hub exists to fill that gap and show young people in all their depth and diversity. Hub provides a platform for young people to voice their opinions, share their creative work, and discover upcoming events and opportunities across the state.

Hub also features content from the South Australian Student Representative Council (SA SRC), highlighting the work the 160 representatives are carrying out in their schools and communities.

Hub Internships are an unpaid professional development opportunity to be part of the team that writes articles, creates content for social media, and runs the website behind the scenes for Hub. Interns meet fortnightly on Thursday afternoons, 4-6pm, at the Commissioner for Children and Young People’s office (251 Morphett Street, Adelaide, 5000).
