The National Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC) - the voice of Jewish Democrats
Seeking college students to intern in our Washington, DC office this summer. We have two types of internships available this summer - Communications and Political Fundraising/Development. Both of the internships can be either full or part time and NJDC staff will sign off to ensure that students receive credit with their universities.
NJDC offers a fast-paced office environment and the chance to work and learn at the intersection of the American Jewish community and the Democratic Party. Students who complete our internships will gain experience in political advocacy, nonprofit operations, and working at a campaign-style tempo.
One of the luxuries of our internships is that interns do not spend the bulk of their time making copies, answering the phones, and running errands. Instead, our interns play an active role in our daily operations and are a major asset to our staff.
Students who intern in our Communications Department will be responsible for drafting and editing press releases, performing research, and will have the opportunity to produce original blog content under their own names, in addition to other responsibilities.
Students who intern in our Development Department will assist our Development team with event planning, donor research, and preparing fundraising materials.
In-depth descriptions of the internships are hyperlinked in the text above.
For any questions, please contact davidstreeter@njdc.org or (202) 216-9060.
