As a member of the Video Production Team you are an invaluable member of the Childhood Cancer Society (CCS)! Members of this team work directly with the Chief Media Officer of CCS on producing/editing videos that are critical to the foundation’s communication strategies. Through this internship, you will have the opportunity to collaborate with a diverse team of individuals from across the nation to help CCS deliver its message of hope, positivity, and adventure. Videography team members must attend Childhood Cancer Society’s remote meetings over Zoom (Monday & Thursday 8:PM-9PM ET). During these meetings our team analyzes the impact of past communications while also brainstorming new opportunities to execute. Projects are assigned during the Monday meetings and the videography team presents its progress on their projects during the Thursday meeting.

*Between meetings, team members maintain communications through Discord.

Please be sure to take a look at our websites www.ChildhoodCancerSociety.org & www.AdventureTedWorld.com as well as our Facebook Pages @ChildhoodCancerSociety & @AdventureTed.Official to get a better understanding of what we do. Adventure Ted is the superhero mascot of our foundation and plays a central role in our communications strategy.

After you've done that, check out the Childhood Cancer Society Shopify here: https://store.childhoodcancersociety.org/collections/all. 100% of the profits from our store are donated to families battling childhood cancer, making it an excellent tool for fundraising and raising awareness. Video producers play an important role in raising awareness for the store. For an example of how this has been done in the past, watch this commercial: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cm6lQYtJsOz/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link. Video producers will have the opportunity to develop more strategies for promoting the Shopify through Instagram reels and other video content.

Members of the Video Production Team will be responsible for helping to piece together pieces of content that Childhood Cancer Society obtains from sending families on VIP Disney/Universal Theme Park Vacation Wish Grants. These Wish Grant Reveal Videos will be used to increase our following and to fundraise so that we can send many more families on our Enchanted Theme Park Experience (as well as other wish grants).

Childhood Cancer Society (CCS) began with the vision of a 16-year-old high school student who realized that having family around him while he was being evaluated for childhood leukemia created the support that he needed to cope.

There is nothing more powerful than the miracles that result from the love of family, and it is the mission of CCS to see to it that children diagnosed with cancer have the opportunity to experience the benefits that come from this vital support system. A true miracle happens when a child looks up from a hospital bed and feels the comfort of loved ones at their side.

Every child deserves to be surrounded by the special love of family during illness. The reality of the situation is that not every family has the means to do so, especially if medical treatment takes them far away from home. CCS provides funds for medical care, accommodations, and travel expenses to make it possible for families in need to obtain the necessary care for their children and to be with them when out of town hospitalization and treatment is required.

Additionally CCS provides gifts and wish grants to children with pediatric cancer. While children are naturally resilient, we believe that the occasional gift/wish grant provides a positive state of mind and creates the optimal environment for the body to heal. Recipients of this type of support are recommended to us via hospital social workers who keep an eye out for children who are in need of this kindness.

100% of the profits from Childhood Cancer Society are used to help families. CCS is a non-profit organization that is tax exempt under the Federal Income Tax section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Please join us as we bring families together so that the miracle of healing can begin – one precious child at a time!
