I am looking for a junior/beginning-of-career person to work in my core office. While the work of my department – the State & National Group at AARP - is much broader than advocacy (including public education, outreach and engagement) I am particularly interested in finding someone who has worked in the legislative / political space because of the kind of skills, experience and work qualities that are honed in that environment.

Please share this with any “stars” that you might have run across, and feel free to direct them to Craig Langford (clangford@aarp.org) on my team, who can help them navigate our application process.

I can also guarantee something he/she cannot get in the Administration or the Hill – a very competitive salary and lots of workforce flexibility. Thanks very much, in advance.

*Internships at EMILY’s List*
Gain valuable political experience and help elect pro-choice Democratic
women up and down the ticket! EMILY’s List is a grassroots political network
working to elect pro-choice Democratic women candidates to higher office. In
the 2009-2010 cycle, EMILY’s List raised more than $38.5 million to support
its mission of recruiting and supporting women candidates, helping them
build strong campaigns, and mobilizing women voters to turn out and vote.
With a community of more than 900,000 members across the country, EMILY’s
List is one of the largest political action committees in the nation. Since
its founding in 1985, EMILY’s List has worked to elect 84 pro-choice
Democratic women to the U.S. House, 16 to the U.S. Senate, nine governors,
and hundreds of women to the state legislatures, state constitutional
offices, and other key local offices. Interns are given the opportunity to
do substantive work, while gaining in-depth experience in the political
sector.
EMILY's List offers full- and part-time internships in the following
departments:
- *Communications*
