About The Position

The Marketing Intern collaborates with on-site operations, culinary, and nutrition team members to execute student experience programs. The role supports the cafeteria environment through décor, signage, and merchandising; student engagement and nutrition education programs; hospitality; and promotions. The intern also partners with the school district’s communications team to engage and inform clients, school staff, parents, and students.
