This project’s goal is to mobilize our communities at a grassroots level, and to leverage political and legal professionals to advocate and lobby effectively. Students will have the opportunity to gain experience in a number of grassroots-led social initiatives.

Interns will have the opportunity to learn about community organizing, tactics for influence, and problem-solving. Interns will likely be responsible for any combination of the following duties: 

• Develop grassroots advocacy campaigns to mobilize individuals/communities in targeted campaigns/calls to action, using diverse methods. 
• Establish partnerships with local organizations and community leaders to amplify the project's impact.
• Monitor developments and engage in strategic advocacy efforts. 
• Cultivate relationships with organizations mobilizing for the same cause and establish points of contact with them.
• Manage external communication channels including press releases, newsletters, social media, and website content to engage stakeholders and the broader community.
• Communicate important updates, statuses, and needs for upcoming events to the internal team. 
• Cultivate relationships with media outlets, respond to media inquiries, and coordinate interviews and press conferences to enhance the organization's visibility and reputation.
• Develop protocols and procedures for crisis communication and serve as a spokesperson during emergencies or sensitive situations.
• Ensure consistency in branding and messaging across all communication channels, and monitor and analyze brand perception and reputation.

We will provide interns with 5 hours of mentorship per team. Throughout mentorship, interns may highlight skills for professional development during their internship, and our team will work to provide interns with appropriate options. Interns may seek career advice, job shadowing and networking opportunities at their request. Meetings structured around each intern’s outlined goals will occur on a weekly basis and will continue throughout the duration of the internship. Students will also be provided with a dedicated supervisor for the entirety of their internship.
