| DECEMBER 19, 2012 -- The National Grange is seeking interns at its headquarters in Washington, D.C., located just one block from the White House.
The Grange building is easily accessible from the Farragut North and Farragut West metro stations as well as a number of bus routes.
Communications Director Amanda Leigh Brozana said the National Grange is in the process of several large-scale projects and seek an organized, reliable, confident individual to become a part of the team for the spring, summer or fall.
“While there will be days of endless scanning, data entry and general organizational work, the intern will also help to produce material for our legislative, communications, events, trademark/brand management, membership and sales departments,” Brozana said. “The intern will get to interact with some of the best people in the country – our members – and learn more about the legislative and lobbying process, public relations, programs planning, fundraising, graphic communications, event planning and marketing.”
Internships are open to all student levels and all majors, interns must be at least 18 years old, eligible to work in the U.S. and willing to submit to a background check, as is the policy of our organization, Brozana said.
This is an unpaid internship, though MetroBenefits – compensation for commuting to and from work – may be available. Additional scholarship opportunities may also be available for interns. Interns with a research interest may also submit ideas for projects that could garner support.
A specific interest is in candidates who have an interest in writing for media, historical preservation and research, legislative research and advocacy assistance or database administration.
Those interested should reply by email at abrozana@nationalgrange.org with a resume and contact information as well as your prospective start and end date. More information will be provided during a follow-up interview. |
