What You'll Do

As the Marketing & Outreach Intern based in Waldorf, you will be the on-the-ground presence for K&I in Charles County and Southern Maryland. This is a hands-on, field-forward role - you will spend time in the community, not behind a desk all day.

Community Outreach & Partnerships

• Research and build a referral partner pipeline across Charles County and Southern Maryland (primary care offices, schools, faith communities, community organizations)
• Schedule and coordinate introduction meetings between K&I leadership and identified community partners
• Distribute K&I marketing materials to referral sources throughout Charles County and Southern Maryland
• Build targeted relationships with Charles County schools, Department of Social Services, Charles Regional Medical Center, and local primary care providers
• Represent K&I at community health fairs and outreach events under direct supervision
• Document all outreach activity in K&I tracking systems for compliance reporting

Marketing Content & Asset Support

• Create and localize community-facing materials (flyers, brochures, event signage) using K&I brand templates
• Develop Charles County and Southern Maryland-relevant content for K&I social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn) from a pre-approved content calendar
• Photograph approved K&I community events for marketing use (with appropriate releases)
• Maintain physical marketing material inventory and coordinate reorders

Event Coordination

• Coordinate logistics for health fairs and community events (venue confirmation, materials transport, registration tables)
• Handle post-event documentation, lead capture, and follow-up tracking
• Coordinate periodically with the Baltimore-based Marketing & Outreach Intern for cross-location alignment

Reporting & Admin

• Submit weekly written outreach activity reports to your supervisor
• Maintain accurate records of community contacts, event documentation, and distribution logs
• Track hours and submit timesheets via BambooHR

What We're Looking For

Required

• High school diploma or GED required; enrollment in or completion of an associate's, bachelor's, or master's program preferred (Marketing, Communications, Public Health, Social Work, Business, or related field)
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
• Comfortable representing an organization professionally in community settings
• Valid Maryland driver's license and reliable personal transportation
• Ability to lift and transport marketing materials up to 30 lbs
• Must pass pre-employment background check and drug screening

Preferred

• Bilingual English/Spanish (a plus, not required)
• Basic graphic design skills (Canva, Adobe Express, or similar)
• Experience with CRM or social media scheduling tools

Important Details

• This position has NO direct patient/client contact and NO access to Protected Health Information (PHI)
• Required compliance training (HIPAA awareness, mandated reporter, K&I code of conduct) must be completed within your first 7 days
• Position begins with a 90-day introductory period; conversion to permanent status is merit-based and not guaranteed
• At-will employment - neither this posting nor any K&I document creates a contract of employment

Compensation & Benefits

• $15.00/hr during 90-day introductory period (Maryland minimum wage)
• $16.00-$18.00/hr upon conversion to permanent status (based on performance)
• Paid sick & safe leave per Maryland Healthy Working Families Act
