Summer Internships in Democratic Politics

Greetings Democrats,

While the rest of this week will be busy with midterms and papers, I wanted to pass along a couple of great opportunities for jobs and internships this summer. If you want more information or are interested in any of the internships below, please reply to this email.

If you are planning on being in Huntingdon for the summer and are interested in an unpaid internship with the Huntingdon County Democratic Party, please email the club. They are very flexible so if you have the desire, they will try to accommodate you. This internship will teach you a lot about Huntingdon, and give you lots of hands on experience in politics. This internship is HIGHLY ENCOURAGED! Please email the club for an application.

There are also many candidates running for local office in Huntingdon and across the state. If you are interested in a position with one of them this summer, please email the club so we can put you in contact with a candidate near where you will be staying this summer.

Another internship to know about is with Organizing for America. It is unpaid, but would help you learn a ton about organizing and politics. It would also help promote President Obama's agenda. If you are interested please see the link for more details: http://my.barackobama.com/page/s/Summer-Organizer?source=BOF

If you are interested in environmental and/or social justice issues and are willing to be in a major city across the country this summer, then you should consider applying for a summer job (It is a PAID position) with the Fund for the Public Interest. Seniors, they also have some full-time positions you could apply for. More details can be found on their website: http://www.fundforthepublicinterest.org/

Further, I am on the executive board of Pennsylvania College Democrats right now, so if you would like help applying for an internship with a Democratic Congressman or State Legislator in your hometown please email the club. I'd be glad to help you make a contact with their office.

If there are any other job/internship positions you'd like help with, please email the club and we will do our best to assist you, or put you in contact with the people that can assist you. Also please note that these are all opportunities, and the Juniata College Democrats will do our best to assist you. However, we cannot guarantee that you will get any of the internships above.

Sincerely,

Zach Gordon

PS Remember that the deadline to express interest for PACD State Convention is the Monday after break...you'll need to do that if you want the club to help pay for your convention costs. Also the deadline is March 17th to RSVP for our Adopt-A-Highway day on March 19th. If you want more information about either of those events please email this account.
