Looking for a way to make social change? Apply to be part of the 2024 Democracy Summer internship class!
Now in its 25th year, the Democracy Summer internship program is an innovative experience that inspires advocacy, community activism, and social change in the face of injustice. It’s a life-changing, hands-on internship experience for college students from across the state.
You could be part of a legacy of hundreds of young people who spend their summer making North Carolina’s government work for all.
All interns earn a $6,000 stipend (taxable) while building relationships, receiving training, and working alongside us as if you were one of our staff. We prepare all of our interns to gain skills that could get them a job in movement work after graduation.
Our interns focus on:
- empowering local volunteers
- amplifying community leaders
- advocating for local and national policies that improve our democracy
- cultivating relationships with decision-makers in North Carolina’s power structure
- moving the needle toward the future we all deserve
Don’t delay! Get more details and apply here. Applications are due by 7pm on Friday, March 15th.
We look forward to working with you!
North Carolina deserves an election system built to serve its people, ALL of its people. To anyone listening. Keep trying to make your votes heard, keep voting, keep engaging your community, keep showing up, because your vote does matter, your voice matters, your voice is heard, and they wouldn’t have to work this hard to suppress it if it wasn’t making a difference.
