Economic Justice Campaign Intern

The Pennsylvania Policy Center is looking for a campaign intern to assist the statewide Campaign Director. For too long, we have let politicians who serve the interests of corporations and the rich divide us based on what we look like, where we come from, where we worship, how much money we have, or whether we are native-born or immigrants.

This is a part-time paid position, ideal for students or recent graduates interested in public policy, advocacy, and campaign management starting late summer and through the fall semester.
