Internship Period: Semester 1 (February - May)

The intern will work with the project team to understand the purpose of MRCS, the type of volunteers being sought, and the key messages that should be conveyed. The role focuses on planning, filming, and producing a clear and engaging recruitment video rather than marketing strategy or campaign delivery.
