Abstract
This internship with 100 Rural Women was conducted in a fully online environment, focusing on communication, outreach, and organizational support within a rural women's advocacy context. Core responsibilities encompassed podcast production assistance, social media content development and management, and the creation of written materials for organizational platforms including the website, newsletter, and reports. Through these experiences, original messages were constructed for a variety of audiences, while effective use of digital communication technologies was analyzed and applied within an organizational setting. The role further involved conducting research to inform and advance organizational initiatives, alongside coordination and facilitation of virtual programs and events. Communication competencies including leadership, followership, and interpersonal communication were demonstrated throughout, particularly through sustained collaboration in weekly team meetings, ensuring strategic project alignment and cohesive communication across the organization. Ultimately, the work done through this internship supported the 100 Rural Women mission to connect women across rural communities.
