Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

Students at Accelerate Her Future will be provided with an opportunity to support our team wit marketing and graphic design needs for our upcoming events. This engagement will give the intern an opportunity to work with a dynamic team within a collaborative environment.


We are a young startup and as a career accelerator for Indigenous, Black and racialized women we care deeply about mentorship. We will help our students succeed as much as we want them to help us meet our event goals. We are looking for a student who has creative vision, tenacity, drive, and sees possibilities in all things and who thrives at working independently and within a team environment. This project involves:


  • Creating speaker photos and social media kits for our upcoming events.
  • Creating signage and promotional videos.
  • Meeting with the Operations & UX Lead to evaluate the choices made for graphics design to ensure it is aligned with company branding goals, and making any necessary revisions.
  • Designing and presenting thumbnails for design assets based on the branding guide to be included in a proposal and presented to the project manager.
  • Executing the full designs for each branding asset using Canva and Figma, based on the approved thumbnails.


Who are we looking for? Ideally you have lived experience and ‘insider knowledge’ of the communities we serve at the core of our mission. You are inspired by our mission and like working within a collaborative environment. You value patience, respect, generosity, and good humour in your working relationships. Having an emerging understanding of intersectionality and gender and racial equity principles will be an asset.

What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

By the end of the project, students should complete the following list of activities:

  • Speaker photos and social media assets.
  • Event signage design.
  • Event video and b-roll creation.
  • Met with the project manager to discuss the branding guide, and completed any changes required.
  • Presented a proposal of brand asset design thumbnails to the project manager to be approved for final designs.
  • Created the final designs for each brand assets using appropriate software.

Final deliverables should include

  • A set of speaker photos, social media assets, signage, video and b-roll.
