Overachiever Magazine is an online community space that is dedicated to amplifying voices and providing opportunities for HAAPI (Hawaiian, Asian-American, Pacific Islander) women and gender minorities. Dedicate your time and skills to our organization while developing excellent experience for your resume.
We are currently looking for overachievers who want to explore their creativity, hone their skills, and contribute to creating an online community. If that sounds like you, please consider volunteering at Overachiever Magazine! We need HAAPI leaders who can grow our efforts in community engagement, editorial content, and social media.

First, we highly suggest that you draft your personal statement on a blank document to edit. When you are ready, you may then submit your application using the form below.

To uphold the mission of our organization, Overachiever Magazine will reserve all opportunities for members of our community—meaning that you must be a Hawaiian, Asian American, Pacific Islander (or partly) woman or gender minority in order to apply. We apologize to all others, but thank you for wanting to support our community.
All internships and volunteer positions are unpaid and remote, so a strong desire to contribute your time and skills will be necessary, along with great communication skills. What we can really offer is a valuable learning opportunity for you to develop your skills and build your resume.
Internships will occur over the span of fall or spring semester (4-5 months) and the goal is for interns to complete a project that gives them exposure and experience in their field of interest. Internships can be completed for school credit if it is approved by your institution.
All positions are voluntary. We estimate it takes about 5-15 hours of effort each week to make a great impact in your role, but we also understand that life happens so we do not enforce mandatory hours of participation. All we expect is for active team members to excel in interpersonal communication and ask for help if help is needed.

We are currently on the search for overachievers who are eager to join our executive team. Do you have digital media and editorial skills that you’d like to develop for professional experience? Are you highly exceptional at what you do and want to have a say in what happens behind the scenes of our digital magazine? Can you commit time to your responsibilities at Overachiever Magazine on top of your existing work life balance? If so, we look forward to receiving your application.
Positions at OM are intended for those who can volunteer time to their role. All other are welcomed to get involved in our community by writing for us or sharing their art as a contributor to one of our issues. One does not need to be a team member in order to become a contributor, and submitting an initial piece to our magazine is great practice to see if this will work for you.
