If you find yourself drawn to community education, advocacy, and local politics and are looking for an internship, Mass Alliance might be the perfect fit for you!
Mass Alliance: Mass Alliance is a coalition of 28 organizations working to advance progressive politics in Massachusetts. Our organizations represent a variety of interests such as: worker’s rights, environmental protection, reproductive freedom, and civil rights. Along with education and advocacy, Mass Alliance endorses and supports progressive candidates for state legislature. Mass Alliance works hard to support our progressive elected officials through advocacy and lobbying on progressive bills, as well as training the next generation of progressive candidates for public office.
Internships: Mass Alliance is looking for highly motivated interns who are eager to learn more about legislative campaigns and take an active role in progressive Massachusetts politics. Interns will become familiar with the structure of local politics and will have the opportunity to meet leaders behind some of the best campaigns in Massachusetts politics. Additionally, interns will learn about many progressive public policy areas through contact with the member organizations. Job responsibilities include candidate recruitment, event planning, logistical organizing, attending meetings, events, and trainings, political research, district analysis, candidate interviews, possible work directly on campaigns, possible work at the state House, and various office duties. Internships are available for a variety of schedules and are flexible. Currently, all internships are remote. A commitment to progressive politics is the only firm requirement. Campaign, political, or other organizing experience appreciated, but not required. A $500 stipend is provided for each internship.
