Campaign Field Intern

Vallone for New York is currently accepting applications for its internship program on the Queens Borough President Race.

The Internship: This internship program is a great first step for those considering a career in electoral politics. As an important part of the campaign's field program, interns will be trained on all of keys aspects of direct voter contact, volunteer recruitment, event building, data management, and Get-Out-The-Vote operations. Interns will partner with staff to help complete our ballot petition drive and lead volunteer teams in direct voter contact.
Interns will be responsible for assisting the campaign in the following ways:
  • Engaging in direct voter contact activities including volunteer recruitment, canvassing and visibility
  • Researching, building, executing and attending events and parties
  • Meeting goals given by staff (ie door knocks, phone calls, etc.)
  • Conducting research and managing campaign data
  • Contributing to ballot petition collection
  • Training volunteers
  • Other Tasks as Needed
Qualifications:
  • Applicants should be enthusiastic about electing Peter Vallone Jr. as the new Queens Borough President.
  • Hardworking, mature, reliable, and possessing a strong desire to learn new skills.
  • Goal-oriented and metrics-driven
  • A team player
  • A connection to Queens is a definite plus but not a prerequisite. Access to a laptop and reliable transportation are also a plus. Bi-lingual applicants are a definite plus. This campaign is an equal opportunity employer and people of all backgrounds are encouraged to apply. This is a non-paid position, though successful interns will be the first candidates to be considered for paid positions as the campaign staff grows over the summer. The campaign will work with interns to receive school credit when applicable.
