You'll start with extensive "fly on the wall" sessions, move to baby steps with coaching, and gradually take on more responsibility as you build confidence. Our documentation is excellent because it has to be. We're a volunteer organization. You'll have guides for everything, and always someone to ask questions. Weekly team meetings keep everyone connected. Regular one-on-ones ensure you're learning and growing. And our Slack channels mean you're never stuck without help. Your education comes first. We work around your schedule, not the other way around. This isn't just task assignment. We invest in teaching you skills that will help throughout your career. Successful interns get strong references and letters of recommendation. We take pride in helping launch careers. Why you're interested in WeVote's mission What draws you to recruiting / HR or nonprofit work Any volunteer experience or community involvement What you hope to learn from this internship Any questions you have for us Don't have much experience yet? That's exactly why internships exist. We value curiosity, commitment, and willingness to learn over extensive experience. Not sure if you're qualified? We'd rather hear from students who are genuinely interested than miss someone great because they doubted themselves. Ready to learn recruiting while strengthening democracy? This internship combines real professional development with meaningful impact. We can't wait to see what you'll bring to our team. Addressing Barriers to Volunteering We know that unpaid roles can present challenges for some students. Flexible scheduling around your classes, work, and other commitments Open discussion of needed accommodations for technology, time, or work style Support for participation - if you need assistance to participate fully, please let us know We believe diverse perspectives make our team stronger, and we're willing to work with you to find solutions that make this internship feasible. Equal Opportunity WeVote is fully volunteer-driven, and we are proud of our grassroots model. We welcome volunteers of all races, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, abilities, ages, income levels, and political perspectives. Everyone is committed to fair, accessible elections. Whether you're new to this work or bring years of experience, there's a place for you. Questions about the role, our tools, or what it's like to work remotely with our team?
