What is Macaroni Kid

Founded in 2008, Macaroni Kid is a national network of e-newsletters and corresponding websites listing events, activities and services for parents.  Each edition is run by a savvy, “in-the –know,” business-minded local mom. You can find local editions of Macaroni Kid in close to 600 towns nation-wide.  Local mom and former educator, Debby Perry, brought Macaroni Kid to the Pittsburgh area in 2010. Years following resulted in many hyper local Macaroni Kid editions, of which she operates four.  Over 16K subscribers utilize Macaroni Kid and our team is looking for four interns to assist in the upcoming months.

Macaroni Kid of Pittsburgh LLC is offering four internship positions for qualified candidates in highschool or college. This position is an unpaid internship but will yield time and experience helping to produce and manage an extremely reputable parent resource in the Pittsburgh area.   Internships are offered per semester and the next opportunity will begin in January of 2015.   Duties include but are not limited to:

  • Editorial Coverage
  • Event Planning
  • Article Development

  • Review of products, events & businesses

Candidates must hold a 3.0 + grade point average and have at least 2 valid references.  Hours per week vary but will scale between 10 and 15 hours.  The opportunity to join the team with a paid part time position will be reviewed and evaluated and offered if applicable,  at the end of each internship.
