Intern with Vote From Home 2020

We are now accepting applications for our remote internship and fellowship programs – we are looking for bright, energetic individuals who want to learn the nuts and bolts of how a first-class political operation works.  

Participants will learn the basics of how to build a grassroots field program and engage with volunteers, voters, and seasoned campaign staff from the safety of their own home. They will engage in daily organizing activities, learn from and have access to Vote From Home 2020 staff, and hear from a variety of political guest speakers. By working as a remote intern, students can earn community service hours and gain real world experience that will give them an edge on future applications – be it for schools or jobs. Students will receive hands-on experience and walk away with letters of recommendation along with strong references. All of this is accomplished from the safety of their own homes.
 
Hours are very flexible, and the team at Vote From Home 2020 is a lot of fun! No experience necessary. You will walk out the door at the end of the internship knowing how to run a local field program, as well as having met some great (albeit virtual) friends.
 
Vote From Home 2020 is a national organization dedicated to expanding vote-by-mail in the 2020 election. Data shows Black, Latinx, AAPI, and young voters are less likely to request mail-in ballots than older white voters. We’re making the 2020 election accessible and safe by mailing applications to these voters—and then following up with calls and texts at every step in the vote-by-mail process. You can read more about us at www.votefromhome2020.org
 
We offer opportunities to students across the entire country, and with COVID-19, we have moved to a remote internship plan, and have staff in every US time zone. This is a great opportunity to get involved in the fight for accessible and safe elections regardless of where you live.
 
In addition, the organization is also offering a remote fellowship program for participants who are looking to be even more involved. With a greater time commitment, fellows will take on leadership roles -- not only learning how to organize, but working with an assigned team of volunteers and interns to manage important direct voter contact programs. This will prepare them to be even more proactive in their roles within the organization, and ensure they can work effectively on future advocacy, political campaigns, and other modes of valuable civic engagement.
