District of Columbia - Centralized College Internship Program and the Capital City Fellows Program

The District of Columbia Department of Human Resources is bringing in the New Year by proudly introducing you to the two new, exciting, and innovative programs: The Centralized College Internship Program and the Capital City Fellows Program!

The Centralized College Internship Program (CCIP) is a Mayoral initiative designed to bring the best and brightest to the District’s workforce by attracting, recruiting, and retaining undergraduate and graduate students. This six-week program offers summer positions (40 hours each week) to students that want hands-on public policy municipal government experience.

The Capital City Fellows Program (CCFP) was an initiative designed to help the government of the District of Columbia find talented people to manage effective policies and provide quality services. The CCFP is looking for graduate students who can fill these roles and more!

Organizing for America

With a new Congress in session, historic reforms to protect, and a lot left to be done, 2011 is set to be a busy year.

Here at Organizing for America, we're gearing up for the work of the coming months -- and we're on the lookout for students, recent graduates, and anyone else who believes in the power of organizing to join our spring internship program.

OFA spring interns will be trained on the strategies and principles of effective grassroots organizing -- and they'll put those skills to good use helping defend the accomplishments we've made and continue to move the country forward.

For at least 15 hours each week, from February 8th until May 8th, interns will:

-- Organize in communities to support President Obama's most important policy priorities;
-- Work side by side with OFA staffers, volunteer leaders, and other interns; and
-- Engage voters who haven't been involved in the political process before, or who got involved for the first time in 2008.

The position is unpaid, but you'll gain valuable training and experience that will prepare you for many possible careers, including community organizing, campaigns, and advocacy work.

Applying to be an OFA spring intern is easy -- just click here to get started. But make sure you do it by midnight on February 1st.

We've seen this movement make historic change in a short period of time -- we've fought for and won huge reforms of health care, Wall Street, student loans, and so much more.

And we're not done yet.

I really hope you can join us. Click here to apply:
