The Jenifer Rajkumar for City Council Organizing Internship
The Jenifer Rajkumar for City Council Organizing Internship is an opportunity to organize Lower Manhattan to elect Jenifer Rajkumar to the New York City Council and build a movement for bottom-up democracy in New York City.
This internship will be a great opportunity for students of New York University to get some real-life political experience and build up their CV. We have Spring and Summer Internships available.
Organizing Interns will not be interns who just take notes and make coffee. They will be trained as community organizers. They will work together with the rest of the team to organize neighborhood and constituency teams throughout Lower Manhattan to educate, persuade, and turn out voters to elect Jenifer Rajkumar to the New York City Council, and to demand bottom-up, not top-down, democracy from their government. Nothing they will be asked to do is not something we would not be willing to do ourselves.
The organizing and campaign methods the interns will be trained in have been honed from experiences in previous New York City campaigns as well as the organizing methods of Obama for America and Organizing for America, by New York City campaign veterans and Obama for America alumni.

The CWS Fellowship Program is a water education and leadership training experience in Northern Region Ghana. The purpose of the fellowship is to teach individuals about the global water crisis, and inspire them to become leaders in the field of international development.
Fellows are grouped in teams of four and paired with a rural community in Northern Region Ghana. Before traveling to Africa, each Fellow works to raise the fellowship fee which covers all of their in-country expenses, including the capital and monitoring cost of a new CWS water business. On the ground, teams are first trained in water quality testing, and the CWS water treatment methods. They then spend two weeks in the field implementing and monitoring a CWS water business in their village.
Since the start of the Fellowship Program in June 2010, CWS has hosted 155 students and young professionals in Ghana who have implemented water businesses in 39 rural villages, providing permanent sources of safe drinking water for over 22,800 people!

As a Campaign Associate, you'll be a part of the fight to keep the White House, re-elect President Obama, and ensure that our values are protected in Washington. Work for Progress: Work for Progress was started by a group of committed activists in the early part of 2008, to help activist-minded jobseekers connect with progressive campaigns and organizations. In the excitement of the presidential primaries, it became clear to find jobs with progressive campaigns and organizations. Fair Share: Fair Share works to provide every American with a fair shot at a good job, a secure future and a strong voice in our democracy. But powerful entrenched interests are gaming the system to their benefit while denying everyone else a fair shot. We need to stand up to the 1% and their allies in Congress that block progress at every turn. Through door-to-door canvassing and grassroots lobbying we press local and national government to do its job and defend working families against the privileged and the powerful. Campaign to Keep the White House: With less than 6 weeks left until Election Day, we have a small opportunity to make a big difference in the future direction of our country. We’ve made huge economic gains in the last four years—everything from the economic stimulus, to Wall Street Reform, to saving Detroit. A Romney/Ryan Presidency would turn the clock back on these gains and only further imperil the health of the middle class. In the next 2 months, you’ll have the chance to join our fight to keep the White House and save the middle class.

Field Representative
Get paid to be a College Republican! The College Republican National Committee (CRNC) is in the process of hiring 60 full-time field representatives for Operation Red November 2012, the largest field program in our organization's history and the largest program of its kind targeting young Republican voters in the United States. A field representative gets paid to recruit, train, mobilize and engage college students in support of Republican candidates, policies and principles.
Specific tasks include recruiting on college campuses, signing up volunteers, and organizing College Republican phone banks and neighborhood walk operations designed to identify Republican voters and get them to the polls on Election Day.
Essentially, field representatives promote and organize the participation of young conservatives in Republican campaigns. Why should I do this?
The position is one of the most sought after political jobs in the country, with state-of-the-art training and an opportunity to develop a nationwide network of contacts.
Many former field representatives are currently working in think tanks, consulting firms, Congressional offices, national Republican committees (i.e. Republican National Committee, etc.), state Republican parties (North Carolina Republican Party, etc.), and many other conservative and Republican organizations across the country. In short, this position has a history of opening the door to the world of politics for its participants.
Other benefits include:
-Launch a career in politics by earning very valuable grassroots organizing and campaign experience that political employers are looking for; -Meet thousands of new people, including potential employers; -Work in a fast paced environment during an exciting time to be a Republican; -Doing something new everyday - there is no "typical" day; -Possibility for job referrals and references; and -Most transportation, cell phone, and miscellaneous expenses will be covered by the College Republican National Committee.
Location, Location, Location...
The states Operation Red November will target are being determined by the national CRNC leadership team right now and final decisions will be made soon. Each field representative will be deployed to one highly competitive battleground state where young Republican voters will make a real on-the-ground difference for GOP candidates.
Each field representative will be assigned one region of one state (Ex: Western Ohio). A field representative will do the lion's share of his or her work in their assigned region.
Due to the nature of the program, participation will likely require extensive travel and temporary relocation for up to three months. Tell me about the training...
Field representatives will receive cutting-edge grassroots and get-out-the-vote training that will equip them with the tools they need to successfully recruit, train, mobilize and engage college students in support of Republican candidates, policies and principles in 2012. The week long training will be held in Washington D.C. in early August. Travel and lodging expenses will be paid by the College Republican National Committee. Let's talk dollars and cents...
Contract pay for field representatives is typically $1,600 per month for the duration of the program depending on the quality of the applicant. Each field representative will also be reimbursed on a monthly basis for up to $2,000 in lodging expenses, $750 in gas and travel expenses, $300 in miscellaneous materials expenses and $75 in cell phone expenses. Relatively large bonuses have also been given in the past to field representatives who have met or exceeded their goals. How Can You Apply For This Amazing Experience?
If you are qualified and interested in either job posted here, please email resume and cover letter directly to Regional Political Director Travis Holler at tholler@crnc.org.

As a graduating senior, you are no doubt trying to decide what you will do next year, or even for the next 5 years. Consider a job with U.S.PIRG. www.uspirg.org/jobs
If you’re like me, you look around and see too many problems in our country to sit back and do nothing. With U.S. PIRG, you can actually get paid to take on and solve the problems our country faces; from advocating for policies that will protect consumers from big bank and credit card rip-offs, to educating citizens and students about energy efficiency, and increasing participation in democracy.
U.S.PIRG is a federation of state-based public interest advocacy groups. And working together we have a much greater opportunity to make a difference. We have a 40-year track record of organizing on these issues, and, we’re hiring graduating seniors to jump right in and make a critical impact as a campus organizer or in our fellowship program.
Learn more about both of these positions at www.uspirg.org/jobs.
We will be holding an information session and interviews on campus on Thursday, October 27 at the Wasserman Center for Career Development. We encourage you to find out more and apply!
