Change Nation Intern

Change Nation is seeking interns for our communications team to help with all aspects of communications, both online and off. We are looking for creative, hard-working individuals who are interested in activism, grassroots organizing, and helping people.

About Change Nation:

Our core belief is that everyone who wants a good job deserves one. We think that all Americans should be able not only to survive, but to thrive. Change Nation is relentlessly committed to building a volunteer movement from the bottom up.  We won’t speak for the rising number of poor people or the shrinking middle class: we will build and create new volunteer organizing tools which allow people to bring their passions, hopes, anger and ideas directly to the institutions and people who stand in the way of a successful America.

Change Nation is a project of the Campaign for Community Change.

About the Campaign for Community Change:
 
The mission of the Campaign for Community Change is to increase the profile of policy issues that matter to low-income people and people of color, as well as to educate and empower low-income people and people of color to act on those issues.

In recent years, the Campaign and its partners have won important improvements in the social safety net, protected critical retirement security programs from the chopping block, defeated numerous anti-worker measures and mobilized communities across the country to win historic health care reform.  The Campaign has been widely credited with preventing anti-progressive forces from seizing the U.S. Senate through our work building a “firewall” with Latino, low-income and immigrant voters. Today, the Campaign is training more than 1,000 new activist leaders in swing states as we build a new movement for job creation.
