If they succeed in their efforts, Americans will experience a reemergence of political power unknown in their lifetime. Project Vote Smart invites you to join with them in making a difference. An internship with Project Vote Smart is a unique lesson in the study of American politics. Students from across the nation, as well as international students seeking to learn more about the American political system, come to the Great Divide Ranch near Philipsburg, MT to help citizens from across the nation educate themselves with information such as voting records and campaign finance data. By providing this information in an easy, accessible manner, Project Vote Smart believes that citizens can better defend themselves from the political hype of present day political campaigns.
Interns play a crucial role in our organization.
The individual talents, ideas and hard work of our interns have been instrumental in the successes of many of our most important programs. The work that is done in the office is not glorious. Often times it is tedious and monotonous. If you are looking for a polished, DC-type internship, you will not find it here. However, if you are interested in making a genuine contribution to the improving of democracy while working in a positive, idealistic, grassroots environment we would love to have you join our team.
