Summary

Inspiring Creativity since 1943! JOANN is a creative and dynamic company buzzing with energy and a passion for inspiring creativity and helping our customer find their happy place. A career at JOANN offers you the chance to stand out, collaborate creatively with cross-functional teams, and enjoy both personal and professional growth. Our corporate summer internship program allows each intern to fully design and present a strategic project to executive leaders, meet weekly with fellow interns to learn about the business, leadership development, philanthropy, and other topics near to our hearts, and actively participate in meetings with their teams and with all levels of leaders throughout the summer.

The Corporate Responsibility intern will help the Corporate Responsibility team in their goals to create internal ESG-related communication and engagement opportunities for JOANN Team Members. Responsibilities for this role will include researching best practices for promoting sustainability within an organization through benchmarking and analysis, support in compiling and writing updates for the bi-weekly newsletter, creation of educational materials for Team Members about the company’s ESG efforts, and organizing a sustainability-related activity for Team Members to attend. The CR Intern will also assist with ongoing data collection, organization, and analysis for our FY24 GHG Inventory and other related projects for the annual Impact Report.

Our goal is to learn from our interns and provide a realistic preview of what working at JOANN would be through this paid and real-to-life internship experience!

Job Duties

You’ll work on projects that are tied to the JOANN strategy and could have a direct impact on our business. You’ll be set up for success with opportunities to attend business meetings, receive real-time feedback, have performance reviews and showcase your work in front of our leadership team.
Work alongside your leader and team to complete tasks and smaller projects as they emerge. This is the real day-to-day work that provides great exposure to what it would be like working in this area of the business.
By attending weekly intern program events with subject matter experts and many of our leaders, you’ll not only learn about interviewing, networking and our business, but you’ll also get a view of the JOANN culture and an understanding of why we’re so passionate about our brand. Also, the handmade community is all about giving to and connecting with others. It’s just who we are. So we’ve dreamt up some social events to help you cut loose and connect with other interns, as well as ways to give back to the community.
Hone those intangible skills and build your professional network by spending time with your assigned buddy and colleagues. They will help you acclimate and be your go-to for questions, but you should also take advantage of their experience so you can ace an interview, build your network at JOANN and more.
