Interns: Help Us Open Up Congress
OpenCongress is seeking to bring on board up to three volunteer interns between our offices in downtown NYC and DuPont Circle, Washington, D.C.
We’re looking for people with a wide range of skills, from web development and graphic design to researching legislation and communications. College & university students in the NYC or D.C. areas are encouraged to apply — we’re happy to work with your educational institution to ensure that you receive appropriate academic credit for your work with us. While we regret as a non-profit project we can’t provide a stipend or salary for this internship, we encourage people from all backgrounds to apply, even if you’re not necessarily already a Congress buff. If you have a basic interest in politics and government, there is an internship position that could work for you.
Back in April, we posted this call for summer interns, and everything of what we wrote there still applies — updated for Fall 2009, of course. In short: our web development process is itself highly transparent and we’re a dedicated, collaborative crew. As a result, this internship is likely to be different from others available to you — by our open nature, you’ll be a core part of the team, free to pursue your interests and work with all team members in order to build a more useful public resource.
In NYC, interns will work alongside OpenCongress Program Manager David Moore at our shared office space in the SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan. Interns will collaborate on a variety of tasks: daily site maintenance, dedicated research projects, writing original analysis of Congressional news, conducting outreach on social networking services, and more. To apply, email a resume and three references to: david at opencongress d0t org.
In Washington, D.C., interns will work alongside OpenCongress Community Manager Avelino Maestas at the offices of the Sunlight Foundation in DuPont Circle. To apply in D.C., email a resume and references to: avelino at opencongress d0t org.
Overall, interning with OpenCongress means you’ll be working with a small but growing project at the leading edge of building public knowledge about Congress and increasing civic engagement. Please feel free to forward widely and write us with questions: david@opencongress.org.
