About the Role and Disney Programs

The Disney Programs Communications team, part of the larger Program Experience team, enhances and supports the participant experience for Disney Programs participants (including the College, Culinary, and International Programs). We partner with operations teams, key stakeholders, and Programs and housing partners to share communication directly with incoming and current participants. The team also supports Disney Programs' reputation and brand management. This means telling our participants' stories and communicating information and news across internal and external platforms, including company websites, email, and social media.

This internship is a full-time, six-month commitment in Orlando, Florida, from January 2027 through June 2027.

In this role, you will create a wide range of communications materials, including newsletters, emails, blog articles, and video content for both internal and external audiences. Strong writing, storytelling, and proofreading skills are essential.
