The Marc Elrich for County Executive campaign is seeking interns interested in learning about the inner workings of a grassroots campaign through our unique PAID internship program. Interns will learn about and perform various everyday responsibilities of successful campaigns, including voter contact, volunteer recruitment and management, event staffing, data management, political planning, communications, and campaign research. They will also receive training on how to construct a field program and will have opportunities to take on increased responsibility as the campaign progresses. The program will also include an educational component in which experts will speak with interns about various policy and political topics. Interviews will be scheduled on a rolling basis and the internship will run through June 30, 2022 with the possibility to extend into the Fall.

Successful campaigns are disciplined and accountable, and all participants will be expected to behave professionally throughout this program. Interns are expected to show up to shifts on time and with a positive attitude and to be focused on assigned campaign priorities during their shifts. Interns will also be expected to attend weekly staff meetings, and a willingness to work on weekends is required.
Access to a vehicle is a plus but not a requirement (campaign headquarters are located in Rockville near the Twinbrook Metro Station). Paid interns will be expected to sign confidentiality and
 non-compete form; work for other campaigns through 2022 will require written consent of the campaign.

Paid interns are not expected to volunteer for additional hours when their assigned paid hours are complete.

Time Commitment: Paid interns will be expected to work 10-25 hours per week depending on interest
and availability (details will be finalized after a group of interns is selected).
