| Aspect | Animator Intern | Animation Assistant |
|---|---|---|
| Required Credentials | Typically enrolled in or recent graduate of animation or related programs | Often has some experience or coursework in animation |
| Work Environment | Internship setting, learning-focused, entry-level | Support role within animation teams, more hands-on tasks |
| Employer & Industry Usage | Used in studios, production companies, and educational settings | Common in professional animation studios and media companies |
Animator Interns are primarily learning and gaining experience, often as students or recent graduates. Animation Assistants have more practical responsibilities, supporting the animation team with tasks like asset preparation and scene setup. Both roles serve as entry points into the animation industry, but the Animator Intern role emphasizes training, while the Animation Assistant role involves more active contribution to projects.

About Childhood Cancer Society
Childhood Cancer Society (CCS) is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting families battling pediatric cancer, providing financial assistance, emotional support, and unforgettable wish grant experiences.
At the heart of our mission is Adventure Ted, our superhero spokes-bear and the central character behind our brand. Adventure Ted represents courage, kindness, and resilience, and serves as the face of our storytelling, campaigns, and creative identity across all initiatives.
We are currently preparing for major initiatives including a high-level charity golf outing and a fundraising dinner event with the Mayor of Saddle River, NJ.
Role Overview
We are assembling a select group of creatives to join the Adventure Ted Creative Board, a performance-driven team responsible for shaping and executing the visual identity of CCS across campaigns, events, and media.
Members will work directly with the Founder and Chief Media Officer, contributing to real-world creative tied to high-visibility initiatives. This is not a traditional internship. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role centered on ownership, quality, and creative impact.
Creative Tracks
Applicants may focus on one primary area:
Graphic Design & Branding
Event materials, social assets, sponsor decks, brand consistency
Apparel Design
Merchandise concepts, wearable branding, and product design
Animation / Motion
Short-form content, storytelling, and character animation for Adventure Ted
Core Responsibilities
Design and execute creative assets across print, digital, and event environments
Contribute to the visual evolution of the Adventure Ted brand
Collaborate with Communications & Partnerships on campaigns and events
Work with manufacturing partners to help design items such as clothing, toys, and other products used in fundraising initiatives
Participate in structured execution sessions with fast turnaround timelines
Maintain high creative standards across all work
What Makes This Different
Direct collaboration with the Founder and executive leadership
Ownership of real-world creative tied to live events and campaigns
Portfolio-building work with real visibility and real-world application
A selective, performance-based creative environment
Growth & Advancement Opportunities
Top-performing interns may be invited to continue beyond the initial term as Associates within the organization.
Advancement is based on execution, consistency, and demonstrated creative ability.
This role is eligible for internship credit in Graphic Design, Media, Animation, Marketing, and related programs, depending on your school’s requirements.
Ideal Candidate
Strong design or creative foundation
High attention to detail and visual taste
Ability to execute quickly without sacrificing quality
Self-starter with strong ownership mentality
Passionate about meaningful, mission-driven work
