Internships . District 79

Learn the work by doing the work.

Canvassing, volunteer coordination, turf preparation, voter contact, and neighborhood organizing.

Message

Writing, research, press support, social media, photography, video, and message discipline.

Creative

Design

Campaign graphics, digital assets, print production, brand stewardship, and accessibility.

Systems

Voter-file hygiene, dashboards, targeting, survey capture, reporting, and quality control.

Execution

Ideas

What we expect

Professional standards. Human flexibility.

You will own work

Interns receive a defined lane, deadlines, feedback, and clear standards—not vague “help out” assignments.

You will be coached

We teach campaign fundamentals, protect the voter, review the work, and explain why the work matters.

School comes first

Schedules can be built around classes and work. College credit is supported where your program permits it.

The district deserves care

Confidentiality, accuracy, respect, punctuality, and good judgment are non-negotiable.

Application note: Use the Contact Hub and choose “Internship.” Include your school or current role, availability, preferred track, and one thing you want to learn.

Bring your curiosity. Leave with receipts.
