Jean Godden serves on the Seattle City Council. She is
running for re-election in District 4 which encompasses the University of
Washington and surrounding areas. She is
running to finish the work she started on the Council to achieve true gender
equity, sustain Seattle’s vibrant neighborhoods and provide accessible, fair
transportation. She is in search of motivated and energetic interns to help
continue the fight!
Interns who demonstrate passion and perform at a rigorous
pace will gain increased responsibility, and consequently, be sufficiently
experienced to hold staff positions on all levels of political campaigns.
Interns will be involved in the following duties:
●
Recruit, train, and coordinate volunteers
●
Volunteer data management
●
Donor research
●
Developing and staffing fundraising events
●
Direct voter contact and persuasion
●
Utilizing and mastering Votebuilder, a program used by
all major Democratic campaigns as a canvassing and campaign management tool
●
Utilizing and mastering NGP, a program used by all
major Democratic campaigns as a political finance and donor research too
●
Must be well-organized, flexible, able to work well
with others, and capable of multitasking while prioritizing projects.
Working on a local campaign gives invaluable experience and
insight into the inner workings of our government. It will teach the skills
required to hold positions on larger campaigns and it is great to have on a resume – the 2016
presidential campaigns will be in search of employees with campaign
experience! The internship is unpaid but
eligible for credit. Work hours are flexible and will be available between
April 1, 2015 and November 3, 2015
