Political Consulting Intern
Political Consulting Intern — Civic Response Consulting
Remote | Now through November 3, 2026 | 9–15 hrs/week
Please note: This is an unpaid internship. Academic credit is strongly encouraged and we are happy to support that process with your institution.
Civic Response Consulting is a youth-led grassroots political consulting firm based in New York. We provide strategic communications, field operations, and organizational support for Democratic candidates and causes. This cycle, we are working with three New York candidates through Election Day in November. Our races include one of the most competitive congressional races in the country, as well as two state assembly seats that Democrats haven't held in decades.
What You'll Work On
Interns work across three areas — Field Operations, Social Media & Communications, and Policy Research. In Field, you will do direct voter outreach through phonebanking, building real relationships with constituents and understanding what issues matter most in our communities. In Social Media & Communications, you will go through a hands-on program covering what actually works for campaigns online, content creation, platform strategy, and how to build an audience that engages. In Policy Research, you will do individual research, writing, and analysis that directly informs how our candidates communicate with voters. We offer on-site content creation opportunities with our intensive mentorship if you live in or near New York and can commute.
What We Offer
Interns have real independence and help shape what they work on. We offer individual mentorship, consistent feedback, and writing and social media mentorships for those interested in policy and communications. Every intern gets genuine hands-on experience in a firm working on real outcomes.
Who We're Looking For
You do not need prior political experience. We are looking for people who are reliable, enjoy speaking directly with voters, and genuinely interested in the democratic process. Everyone is welcome to apply. Visit www.civicresponse.org to learn more.
