Internship Opportunities
We all want to make a difference, but too many internships focus entirely on research and require students to get lost in the library. If you want to make a real difference in your community, consider an internship with the Darcy Burner for Congress campaign.
Why I Support Darcy Burner
Volunteers, interns, and staff of Darcy Burner for Congress explain why they are working tirelessly to send Darcy to Congress.
The internship will offer students a structured experience working one-on-one with campaign staffers – the intern’s staff mentor. Interns learn basic skills that allow them to analyze issues and articulate solutions to the pressing problems of the day. Interns learn that activism and participation in the democratic process yield results. Though responsibilities vary, most internships will include:
- Working with the candidate and community organizations to increase visibility and name identification throughout Washington’s 8th Congressional District by coordinating community events and candidate appearances.
- Working with coalition partners to coordinate grassroots campaign activities. Including phone banks, canvasses, and event appearances.
Interns have the opportunity to work on a campaign where they learn about public interest issues, gain political knowledge, and see how the democratic process works.
Opportunities for class credit and community service hours available.
