YA Weekly Internship

From January to April 2024, I was the Editorial Intern for the YA Weekly digital magazine from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

This internship focused on ghostwriting and content editing articles from our submission process. In this position, I had the opportunity to interview members of the Church from around the world—ages 18 to 35—every week. I asked about their religious experiences and organized this data so the YA Weekly team could better format content based on our demographic’s needs.

As the intern, I created new systems to monitor article analytics and created templates for future interns to use. I assisted in data questionnaires, article formatting, and choosing visuals for the Church’s website and YA Weekly social media. I proposed new projects to boost YA Weekly‘s SEO, and created easy-to-read content for our target audience. In this internship, I assisted in producing over 35 articles, including 7 with my own story.

I also helped re-vamp the YA Weekly’s introduction article by identifying and indexing popular articles and SEO topics. You can view this list by clicking here.

Due to the Church’s advanced publication schedule, many of my articles are not yet online. More information about my writing in this position can be made available upon request.
