Our organization works nationally and in more than 20 states to provide a range of services to our partners, including strategic planning, advocacy and electoral campaign coordination, data tools and targeting services, and on-the-ground leadership in key states. Commitment to Racial Equity As a leader of collaborative efforts to mobilize voters, protect voting rights, and win elections, America Votes is committed to advancing racial equity within our organization and across our coalition. We acknowledge the systematic racism that permeates all facets of our society, beginning with the foundational right to vote.

WASHINGTON, DC PROGRAM Interns at America Votes in Washington, DC get an inside look at how our coalition operates year-round and connect with some of the most influential issue organizations in the country. Our interns have the opportunity to work with both our national and state teams while learning new skills and getting a taste of different areas of work, including field, communications, and other projects. We also offer more than the typical “9-to-6” experience with occasional opportunities outside the office, including trainings, events with our partners, and virtual networking with staff. America Votes is always looking to recruit motivated individuals who can adapt quickly in a fast-paced organization. We are currently accepting applications for Spring 2025 interns and ask that interns be able to work at least 15 hours per week. Interns are compensated with $17.50 per hour, and we are happy to work with you in securing college credit through your academic institution. This posting will remain open until the position is filled and applications may be reviewed on a rolling basis. Position Description As a leading progressive organization, America Votes is committed to helping mentor the rising stars of the progressive movement. Interns for America Votes will be heavily involved with the day-to-day operations and will learn who America Votes is and how we operate. Our goal is to recruit smart, hardworking interns that will be able to manage in a small, fast-paced organization. What You’ll Do Your objectives as an intern will be twofold: 1) to support the success of key internally- and externally-facing projects critical to AV’s success, and 2) to build the skills, capacity, and confidence to grow as a rising professional in the progressive sector. Your specific projects and responsibilities will vary, but will likely include a mix of desktop research, communications, meeting/convening preparation, and project management. You will report to one of our managers or organizational leaders, who will measure your success primarily by achievement of your individual goals, “client” satisfaction (i.e., feedback from AV staff who are the main owners of your projects), and contribution to our culture. Examples of potential projects include:  Tracking electoral races at the federal and state level. Copy editing and formatting internal and external products. Working on various state-based projects on voting rights and election laws Assisting with job postings.  Helping prepare for AV’s annual State Summit, including supporting preparation for panel discussions and keynote speeches Creating graphics for donor briefings Providing support for People Operations activities, including day-to-day administrative and logistics tasks. Other responsibilities as assigned In addition to learning new skills and concepts, you will get to see how America Votes and other progressive organizations operate both nationally and at the state level.  Who you are To be successful in your internship, you will excel in five areas. Organized and detailed self-starter: You bring a passion for making things work well and an ability to handle a significant volume of work impeccably in a high-performing environment, including strategically prioritizing the most important and impactful work while keeping the others moving or explicitly placing them on the backburner. You’ve got a solid system for getting things done, and it gets-things-done! You are able to track multiple work streams at once, know where you are with any given project, and your work is trusted to be accurate, complete and timely, including follow-up and follow-through.  A strong problem solver and rigorous thinker: You consistently anticipate challenges, troubleshoot problems, and can devise creative, pragmatic solutions to help us move forward by identifying and resolving underlying issues. You work to solve problems as they arise while also brainstorming ways to mitigate future problems or issues. You are solutions-oriented and flexible in your approach. Interpersonal and relational skills: You are able to quickly build a connection with others in a way that supports effective collaboration. You have an enthusiasm for meeting and engaging with people and can empathize with the communities we serve. You are able to put people at ease, especially across lines of difference or power. You listen closely to understand needs or concerns and take steps based on that input. You are known for being reliable, solution-oriented, and kind.  Demonstrated commitment to racial and gender identity equity: You understand the impact of systemic and implicit biases related to race and gender identity that can play out in the workplace. You effectively develop and build relationships across lines of difference and power and can proactively spot issues of equity and inclusion in your work. You demonstrate the ability to hear, reflect, act on, and learn from feedback re: identity and equity. Exceptional written and digital communications skills: You organize and share information effectively — whether writing an internal email or delivering a presentation. You communicate well with others, including sharing context and asking questions to understand others’ perspectives. In your written communications, you are keenly aware of the power of language and representation, including using references and compelling stories that speak to the experiences of a diverse audience, particularly the communities we aim to reach. If asked, you can learn, internalize, and incorporate our “voice” across platforms.  We understand that candidates will be stronger in some areas of this role more than others. Please don’t let that stop you from applying! Location The Spring 2025 internship program will be conducted virtually, but interns must be based in the United States and will be expected to work East Coast hours. Interns are required to have regular access to a personal computer, with reliable internet access and a webcam for the duration of the internship due to the virtual nature.
