My name is Sasha Cousineau and I am the Director of Volunteer &
Youth Programs at NARAL Pro-Choice Washington.
I wanted to let you know that NARAL Pro-Choice Washington is
currently looking for interns at your school that can help us with
outreach to your campus community. In particular, the intern would
lead a Students for Choice campus group. This is a truly unique
internship for students because all the work of the internship would
occur on campus, as opposed to in NARAL's Seattle office.
I am hoping that you can post or send this internship description to
anyone you know that may be interested in getting involved in the
pro-choice movement.
Sincerely,
Sasha Summer Cousineau
Director Of Volunteer & Youth Programs
