Summer PR Fellowship (Spring 2026 Graduates)New

Small Girls Pr • Los Angeles, CA

19d • Hybrid

About The Position

SGPR is a creatively-driven media relations, influencer, and experiential agency championing a personal approach to public relations. Our clients range from Fortune 500 brands to challenger startups. We've launched brands that challenge the norm like Billie, created "buzzer beater" travel deals for Priceline during March Madness to help fans turn their basketball daydreams into courtside experiences, and put "The Pitt" star, Noah Wyle, in a red carpet tuxedo made from FIGS scrubs. Don't be fooled by the name - while the agency may have been founded by two "small girls" (our founders are as self-deprecating as they are short), we are committed to being a diverse and high-performing company that is dedicated to creating an inspiring workplace for everyone - including men (who sit on both our leadership and people policy team) and taller individuals (who compromise of the entire company save for a few even smaller smalls). What is the SGPR Summer Fellowship? The Summer Fellowship is a 12-week full-time work experience and training program running June 1st, 2026 through August 21st, 2026. Open to Spring (May or June) 2026 graduates only, this paid and highly competitive opportunity will give aspiring communications professionals the chance to learn from and work alongside the team at Small Girls PR as full contributing team members (aka no coffee runs!). The aim of the SGPR Summer Fellowship is to prepare recent graduates with the foundational skills necessary for most entry-level jobs in PR, communications, and beyond. To qualify for the Fellowship, we are looking for candidates who are able to work out of our NY or LA office 2x/per week (on a predetermined schedule that optimizes in-office collaboration with a fellow's respective team). Additionally, this opportunity has the potential to lead to permanent, full-time employment as an Account Coordinator, therefore all eligible applicants must be willing to work out of our NY or LA office 2x/per week upon completion of the Fellowship, as it is a condition of accepting a spot in the Fellowship program. While the Fellowship offers the potential for a full-time position, it is not guaranteed. Transition to a full-time role depends on multiple factors, including the Fellow's performance and the company's current hiring needs.
