About CodeYogi Foundation

CodeYogi Foundation is democratizing access to technology careers for millions of underserved students across India. We're building a mobile-first coding education platform with an AI tutor that works on any smartphone - because 90% of students in tier-2/3 cities only have phones, not laptops.

Our mission is to enable students from rural areas, government schools, and low-income families to learn programming, build real projects, and access high-quality tech careers - regardless of their economic background or location.

We're a Section 8 company (non-profit) driven by impact, not profit. Every decision we make is guided by one question: "Does this serve our students better?

But here's the challenge: Our story isn't being told.

We have incredible student impact, a unique approach, and a powerful mission. What we need is someone who can translate this mission into words that move people - students who need us, funders who can support us, partners who can amplify us, and team members who want to join us.

The Role

We're looking for a Video Editor to own the editing that ships:

Short-form social — Reels, YouTube Shorts, WhatsApp clips (the bulk of weekly output)

Long-form educational content — course/lesson videos, alumni-story films, classroom B-roll cut for the platform and YouTube

Donor-facing impact films — 2-3 minute pieces a funder will watch end-to-end

This is a craft-and-execution role on a lean 17-person team, reporting directly to the founder. You'll edit a lot, occasionally self-shoot, and partner with the content/communications team on briefs.

This is not a creative-director or strategy role, and it's not a one-format role. It's for an editor who is genuinely range-y — sharp on short-form hooks and patient with long-form storytelling — and who wants their cuts to bring coding education to students who'd otherwise be left out.

What You'll Do

Short-form Social (45% of time)

• Cut Reels, YouTube Shorts, and WhatsApp clips on a weekly cadence
• Open with a hook that lands audio-off in the first 2 seconds
• Caption every cut for the phone-first, sound-off viewer
• Adapt the same source footage across 9:16, 1:1, and 16:9 where useful

Long-form Educational & Impact (40% of time)

• Cut course/lesson videos for retention on a small screen
• Edit alumni and student-story films with dignity, consent, and accuracy
• Cut 2-3 minute donor/impact films from raw interviews and B-roll
• Maintain English and Hindi subtitle quality across long-form

Library, Templates & Collaboration (15% of time)

• Build and maintain project templates, caption styles, lower-thirds, and intro/outros
• Tag and organise a growing footage bank for reuse
• Interview students/ops/teachers on shoots where needed; self-shoot on phone/DSLR when the situation calls for it
• Share rough cuts early; iterate on founder/content notes

What You'll Learn

• During this internship you'll gain experience in:
• Professional video editing workflows
• Storytelling for education and social impact
• Editing for Instagram, YouTube and WhatsApp
• Motion graphics basics
• Content strategy
• AI-assisted editing tools
• Working inside a startup environment
• Receiving and implementing creative feedback
• Managing multiple editing projects

Who Should Apply

We're looking for students who:

• Are currently pursuing or have recently completed a degree in Media, Mass Communication, Animation, Film, Design or related fields.
• Have basic knowledge of video editing.
• Are eager to learn and improve every week.
• Enjoy storytelling through video.
• Can work from our Dehradun office.
• Can commit to the internship duration.
• Students from any discipline are welcome if they have a good editing portfolio or have a natural inclination towards editing and want to explore it more.

Skills We're Looking For

1. Video Editing Craft — Short-form + Long-form

• Strong pacing instincts; clean cuts; motivated transitions
• Caption work that reads on a phone (size, placement, line breaks)
• Basic colour and sound that doesn't fight the content
• Fluency in a modern NLE — Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut, or CapCut Pro
• Comfortable across vertical (9:16), square (1:1), and horizontal (16:9)

2. Story & Audience Sense

• Can take the same raw footage and cut it three different ways for three different viewers (Reels viewer, learner, donor)
• Picks the right student/story for the audience and knows what to leave out
• Centres student agency, not the org's act of helping

What We're Looking For Beyond Skills

• At CodeYogi, character matters as much as craft.
• We look for interns who demonstrate:
• Ownership
• Curiosity
• Integrity
• Resourcefulness
• Attention to detail
• Teamwork
• Empathy for the people whose stories we tell

Why Join CodeYogi?

• Work directly on meaningful projects with real impact.
• Build a strong professional portfolio.
• Learn from experienced founders and creative teams.
• Receive continuous mentorship and feedback.
• Be part of a mission that is changing lives through education.

Equal Opportunity

CodeYogi Foundation is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to an inclusive environment. We especially encourage applications from people who have personally experienced the barriers our students face — that lived experience helps you film and edit their stories with authenticity and dignity.

A Note on Storytelling with Integrity

We tell stories about students from underserved communities who face real barriers. We're looking for an editor who tells those stories with dignity, consent, and accuracy — celebrating student agency and resilience, never exploiting hardship for emotional effect, never composing shots or captions that imply something that didn't happen.

How you treat a shaky phone video of a student talking about her life tells us everything about your judgment. We're not looking for someone who makes poverty look cinematic. We're looking for someone who makes people look human.

If you believe video can be both moving and honest, we'd love to work with you.
