Internship Opportunities with Obama Campaign for Change

The Washington Obama Campaign for Change is looking for hardworking, dedicated, individuals who want extensive, hands-on campaign experience.

Internship responsibilities include but are not limited to various administrative and field duties including:
• Managing and recruiting volunteers
• Contacting voters, both on the phone and door-to-door
• Registering new voters
• Distributing campaign materials
• Coordinating events in our Students for Barack Obama on your Campus
• Other tasks that the campaign may dictate

Qualifications:
A successful candidate will be an energetic self-starter and should have exceptional communication, technology and administrative skills. Applicants must be passionate about the political process and motivated to work hard to promote the campaign goals. We are looking for students who want to work in a team, who enjoy the dynamic of a fast-paced organization where we manage multiple tasks on tight deadlines, and can work anywhere from 10-20 hours per week unpaid. Interns must also be responsible for their own transportation. We are sensitive to the busy schedule of students and are flexible. The campaign functions 7 days a week through November 4th, so interns will often be able to work around their own schedules. Recommendations are offered to interns who make positive contributions to the campaign and there is an option for class credit pending department requirements.

To apply, please contact the Campaign for Change Field Organizer:
