A flurry of exciting projects has kept us at HoneyMilk busier than usual, which is why we are taking on interns this summer to provide a unique opportunity for some lucky go-getters.

We are looking for detail-oriented, organized, self-motivated people who want to become part of the HoneyMilk Team. If you are looking for a fun, growing, and intensely busy company to grow with then this may be the company for you! Please keep reading.

As a HoneyMilk Intern you will gain hands-on experience in all aspects of our home-studio factory, including soap and skincare product batching, order fulfillment, packaging products and wholesale orders, social media marketing, customer service, product and production photography and other miscellaneous business-related tasks.

It is reasonable to think that successful  internships may lead to employment.  If you are creative, hands-on, craft-focus, able to complete tasks with minimal supervision, and love to create great high-quality products, we would love to talk with you.

We’re building a team of independent, self-managing equals, all striving to do and be our best, through practices and products, for the betterment of people and the planet.

This Internship will run from May 31st thru July 30th. All Interns will be paid a minimum of a $700 stipend at the end of a successful, fully completed internship. Open to age ranges 18 to 25 years old. Must be willing to work in a home-studio environment in Douglasville, GA.

There will be many more creative opportunities though our program, as described below.

Internship Duties: You will work closely with the Owner as a Production Team Member and have a front row view to how the business is operated and managed. We will be interning with 2 highly-qualified individuals that will work separately and sometimes together. Attention to detail is absolutely key, as even small mistakes can greatly affect the quality of our products, and our relationships with our customers.

You will also get to work with an amazing group of people, share your creativity and maybe even make some friends along the way.
