About the Program
Interns receive an immersive introduction to grassroots organizing and advocacy. We empower young people with hands-on experience that has a direct impact on our campaign to fully fund public education. Time is divided among the following areas of focus.
Civic Engagement
The fundamental building block of any grassroots movement is one person talking to another. Interns learn to effectively communicate with the public and inspire people to take action.
Digital Content Creation
Interns create original social media content to raise awareness and build support for our campaign. Interns become proficient with various social media platforms including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Volunteer Coordination
The backbone of any grassroots movement is people. Interns learn the valuable skills of recruiting, training, and inspiring volunteers.
Policy Research
Facts matter. Interns conduct research that is used by our organization and coalition partners to raise awareness and build support for our campaign to end the education crisis.
Leadership Development
Our internship program is training the next generation of grassroots leaders by fully integrating them into our work. Interns learn to work in a team and to take on individual leadership responsibilities for various aspects of our work.
