Internship Program

The Sussex County Democratic Committee is seeking dedicated and resourceful candidates who would like to grow as individuals, learn about politics & policy and assist with our party presence in Sussex County. You will be asked to collaborate with local campaigns which may include working with candidates directly and gaining knowledge to recruit prospective volunteers. You will work 5-10 hours per week & will be required to reach goals that will best benefit our party by conveying our message to new and seasoned voters. Weekend availability is recommended as we head into the voting season where canvassing will be required for all accepted applicants not working remotely.

Your tasks may include assisting the party with assignments such as the following: communications, event planning, fundraising, multi-media & computer programming. You will be assigned accordingly to your area of interest, and any experience or knowledge you may have previously earned in a related field. The internship is unpaid, however, we are working on providing school credit & additional opportunities beyond the sphere of the internship. Interns will report to the Internship Director.
