Fellowship 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
Fellowship Expectations:
• Be up-to-date on local and national political news
• Volunteer for 4-6 hours per week for 8 weeks over the summer break.
We recognize high school students are busy, but we also will favor applicants who can commit to more than this minimum.
• Follow instructions closely, ask questions, and always enjoy yourself!
• Interns will be responsible for registering people to vote, doing
administrative work, and event planning. Hitting the streets and talking to strangers a must!

We will provide:
• Provide signatures etc. necessary community-service or other credit
• Train interns in outreach and volunteer coordination.
• Sit with interns one-on-one to share political stories, careers, strategy etc.
• Supervise interns – minors ‘out in the field’ will always have an experienced campaign volunteer with them
• Provide access to fundraisers, political events, and any local matters that may interest/educate the fellows.
• Upon successful completion of the program interns will receive a diploma, a letter of recommendation on Party letterhead (should they ask for one), and an office credential
