NLIHC Seeks Policy and Communications/Media/Graphic Design Interns for Fall

NLIHC is accepting applications for two fall internship positions, one for policy and one for communications/media/graphic design. Interns are highly valued and fully integrated into our staff work. We seek students passionate about social justice issues, with excellent writing and interpersonal skills, to work from late August/early September until mid-December.

The Communications/Media/Graphic Design Intern prepares and distributes press materials, assists with media research and outreach for publication releases, works on social media projects, maintains a media database and tracks press hits.  Also assists with sending out e-communications; revises collateral print material such as brochures, flyers, and factsheets; and updates content on the NLIHC website. Some graphic design experience is highly desired.

The Policy Intern assists the NLIHC policy team by tracking new legislation, attending and summarizing Congressional hearings for the Memo to Members and Partners newsletter, participating in visits to Congressional offices, updating the Congressional database, and developing materials for use in lobbying the House and Senate to accomplish NLIHC's mission. Experience or classwork in policy, advocacy, or government affairs a plus.

Fall interns are expected to work 25 hours a week. NLIHC provides modest stipends.

A cover letter, resume, and writing sample are required for consideration – please indicate which position you are applying for. Applicants for the communications/media/graphic design internship should also submit examples of your graphic-design work.

Interested students should send their materials to: Paul Kealey, chief operating officer, National Low Income Housing Coalition, 1000 Vermont Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20005 via email to: [email protected]
