A fall internship at Story Partners will give you substantive, hands-on experience in a fast-paced workplace. Our ideal candidates are motivated, self-starters and creative thinkers. We encourage any upperclassmen student interested in the role of public affairs in the political process to apply, however, applicants with a communications background will be given preference.
Internships are not paid, but we do offer college credit and an environment conducive to practical instruction and learning. The program begins in September and extends through December. Interns should be available 2-3 mornings during the week at minimum and should provide availability when emailing a resume for consideration.
Interns should be prepared to enter a professional office and work hard every day. Duties include but are not limited to: preparing a wide selection of written and creative materials, monitoring news coverage (traditional and digital) for client issues, facilitating a variety of social media engagement and analysis, maintaining reporter databases, and conducting research into strategic communications best practices.
Story Partners will arrange unique excursions for interns to further their understanding of the different aspects of public affairs in Washington, D.C. For example, these will include seeing the legislative process up close with a tour of the Capitol and a visit to the gallery to watch votes in the House and Senate, attending a committee hearing on some of the most pressing issues of the day, meeting with Congressional press secretaries and legislative aides, and meeting with members of the press corps who cover Washington politics and policy.
How to Apply
Interested candidates should send their resume and cover letter to Liz Roche – [email protected] – to be considered and to schedule an interview.
