Intern admission requirements:

• Excellent communications skills as demonstrated in an email asking to join the program and a follow-up phone interview or resume submission
• A basic knowledge of electoral politics and government roles/public policy
• Signed permission form
• Patience and dedication for progressive or liberal causes

Intern Expectations:

• Be up-to-date on local and national political news
• Volunteer at least four 5-hour shifts in our local office before November 1. We recognize high school students are busy, but we also will favor applicants who can commit to more than this minimum
• Between November 1 and November 6 volunteer at least 8 hours at the local office. (Exceptions can be made with prior discussion or if the intern wants to go out of town)
• Follow instructions closely, ask questions, and always enjoy yourself!
• Interns will be responsible for registering people to vote, making phone calls to swing states, and helping out in the office. Hitting the streets and talking to strangers a must
