Graphic Design Intern, CUBIC (Unpaid-Part time, Home based)
SUMMARY
The Opportunity
Save the Children is the world’s leading independent organization for children, working in 117 countries with more than 25,000 staff. In April 2020, Save the Children launched the Center for Utilizing Behavioral Insights for Children (CUBIC) in Asia. CUBIC is the first “nudge unit” in the world to focus specifically on the most marginalized children’s rights and welfare. We are a dynamic team, with ambitious goals to apply behavioral science in order to reach more children and have an even greater impact on their lives.
CUBIC is seeking an early career graphic design intern to support our Design Associate. High quality design is a central part of CUBIC’s offering to clients and partners, and we seek to maintain these standards across everything we produce – from behavioral protypes to presentations and reports.
Key Responsibilities
The intern will be integrated into the 13-person CUBIC team and will have the opportunity to get involved in multiple projects – the expectation for the intern is that s/he would primarily contribute to:
- Project summary presentations
- Business development pitches/ proposals
- Communications product design
- Social media post design
- Proofreading final design output where required
Skills Required
- Enrolled in/or recent graduate of design qualification/ early career in design and communication

- Animation skills are desirable
Time Requirements
Part time internship – appropriate for students/recent graduates. Expectation is for 8-12 hours a week, for a minimum of 6 months.
Conditions
The intern would be engaged on a voluntary basis (non-paid) and would sign a volunteer contract with Save the Children. The working schedule would be determined by the intern; however, attendance during regular team calls and calls with our country partner teams would be important
The Organisation
We employ approximately 25,000 people across the globe and work on the ground in over 100 countries to help children affected by crises, or those that need better healthcare, education and child protection.

We are working towards three breakthroughs in how the world treats children by 2030:
- No child dies from preventable causes before their 5th birthday
- All children learn from a quality basic education and that,
- Violence against children is no longer tolerated
