High School Internship Program
The Marc Elrich for County Executive campaign is seeking high school interns interested in learning about the inner workings of a grassroots campaign and helping to re-elect a progressive champion as Executive of Montgomery County.
This internship is unpaid but can be used for SSL hours if the high school student receives approval before beginning with the campaign. The program will involve training on the basics of voter contact, data management, events, and campaign research. It will also offer exposure to field and campaign strategy under the direction of one of the campaign’s field operatives. Students should leave the program with an understanding of how to make a grassroots campaign successful.
High school interns will be expected to behave professionally throughout this program, communicate clearly about their availability, and arrive at scheduled shifts on time and with a positive attitude. A willingness to volunteer on weekends and comfort working with groups of people are both a plus. High school interns will also be expected to familiarize themselves with the expectations outlined in the Marc Elrich for County Executive Handbook. To receive SSL hours, high school interns must be focused on campaign work and following through on given priorities during their shifts.
