Content & Community Internship (6 months)

Amsterdam / Hybrid

This internship is intended for students enrolled in a university programme and looking for a placement as part of their studies. We do offer compensation.

About the role

Routes In is a foundation on a mission to unlock potential and redistribute opportunities in the creative industry.

We support young, underrepresented talent through mentorship, community and access to industry insiders. We’re looking for an intern to join the Routes In team and help bring our mission to life through content, storytelling and community engagement.

This is a hands-on role with real responsibility, creative freedom and the chance to make a genuine impact.

What you will do


You’ll support the Routes In foundation across content, community and programme delivery. This includes:

  • Creating and shaping content that inspires and supports young creatives, and promotes the mission and our initiatives

  • Managing and contributing to our social platforms (focus on Instagram & building a presence on TikTok; secondary: website & LinkedIn).

  • Interviewing industry leaders, young creatives and Routes In alumni

  • Designing and creating visuals, video and written content (Jumping on opportunities and cultural trends.)

  • Crafting compelling copy aligned with our mission and voice

  • Supporting the delivery of the Soho Mentorship Programme Amsterdam 2026

  • Helping with general administrative tasks that keep the foundation running smoothly

Over time, you’ll take increasing ownership of how we connect with and provide value to our community online.

This role is for you if…

  • You have a strong interest in social media and digital communities, and enjoy keeping up with what’s trending and how content lands with an audience

  • You’re curious about the creative industry and enjoy telling stories about people, ideas and impact

  • You enjoy coming up with creative ideas and often find inspiration through people, conversations and lived experiences.

  • You enjoy creating and editing content (visuals, video and/or copy), are comfortable using creative tools (design, video editing or content creation software; gold star for skills in using Webflow) - or are actively building those skills hands-on

  • You have an eye for detail and take pride in the quality of your work

  • You’re proactive, organised and able to manage your own tasks within a small team

This role might NOT be for you if…

  • You’re looking for a large, corporate environment with highly standardised processes and narrow responsibilities

  • You prefer roles that are mostly observational, rather than hands-on and delivery-focused

  • You’re hoping for a fully remote setup, with limited in-person collaboration

What you'll get

  • Real responsibility and creative freedom to bring your ideas to life

  • Hands-on work experience creating content and engaging communities (not just observing)

  • Exposure and access to leading creativity industry spaces, through work with pioneering industry leaders, partners and young talent

  • A passionate, supportive team based in Amsterdam, with collaborators across Europe

  • Practical experience you can clearly explain and proudly add to your CV or portfolio

  • A short motivation (written or video - both are welcome) telling us why this internship excites you and what you’d love to bring to the Routes In team

  • Links to work you’re proud of (a portfolio, social channels, projects or experiments). It doesn’t need to be polished - we’re interested in your ideas, creativity and how you think

  • Your CV

  • We’d love to see one of these. Doesn’t need to be polished, just show us how your brain works.
