Project Vote Smart's National Internship Program provides a unique lesson in the study of American politics. Students from across the nation and around the world come to our research center in the Montana Rockies for ten weeks to help American citizens educate themselves about elected officials and candidates. By providing this information in an easy and accessible manner, Project Vote Smart believes that citizens can better defend themselves from the political hype and misrepresentation characteristic of present day political campaigns. Interns play a crucial role at Project Vote Smart. The individual talents, ideas and hard work of our interns have been instrumental in the success of many of our most important programs. Since the Project researches thousands of elected officials and candidates' backgrounds, the work is often tedious. However, if you are interested in making a genuine contribution to your Nation, in an idealistic and positive environment -- located in the middle of a natural wonderland -- we would love to have you join our team. There is plenty of room to learn and grow with the organization. Interns often return as staff members after they have finished their college careers. College students and recent graduates typically participate in our National Internship Program. Interns must commit to ten consecutive weeks, but may intern anytime during the year. We accept applications on a rolling basis and have no deadline, however, we do encourage students to apply as soon as possible for our summer internships. Interns live on-site at the Project's Great Divide Ranch and scholarships pay for room and board. Project Vote Smart offers internship positions within each of its department (including Communications and Information Technology), with most interns allocated to the Research, Key Votes, and Political Courage Test Departments. The Internship Coordinator will make all position assignments based on an individual applicant's skills, departmental priority, and projects available.
