About Safe Passage Project

Safe Passage Project provides free legal representation to immigrant children facing deportation. We believe every child deserves a fair chance to live safely with dignity and hope for the future.

Why This Internship?

Are you a student who loves bringing characters and stories to life through animation? Do you want to use your creativity to make a positive impact? At Safe Passage Project, you'll have the chance to create storytelling videos that highlight the resilience of immigrant youth and support a mission for justice. This internship gives you the opportunity to experiment with your craft, build a standout portfolio, and see your animations drive real campaigns

What You'll Do

Create short character-animated videos that bring powerful stories to life

Use character design, rigging, and animation techniques (2D or 3D) to develop compelling narratives

Edit and prepare animations and video clips for use on social media, campaigns, and events

Add branding elements and polish content to ensure consistency across platforms

Contribute your own creative ideas and artistic style while aligning with Safe Passage Project's brand guidelines

What We're Looking For

Current student or recent graduate in Animation, Media Arts, Film, or related field

Familiarity with animation software such as Adobe Animate, After Effects, Toon Boom Harmony, Blender, or similar tools

Passion for animation, design, and creative storytelling (coursework, personal projects, or a small portfolio is great, but professional experience is not required)

Creative problem-solver: self-starter who learns quickly, experiments boldly, and thrives when given creative freedom.

Detail-oriented, deadline-driven, and eager to grow as a designer and animator

What You'll Gain

A portfolio filled with real-world projects that showcase your design and animation skills

The chance to see your work used in campaigns that reach thousands of people

Creative freedom to shape projects, experiment with new ideas, and take the lead on animation projects from concept to final cut

Flexible schedule with the opportunity to earn academic credit and fit the role around your studies
