  <title><![CDATA[Let America Vote Fall Internships]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>The internship program at Let America Vote is designed to allow students to learn about and participate in grassroots political activism to expand voting rights across the country. Throughout the course of their work, interns will learn valuable organizing, advocacy, and community engagement skills which will help their future career prospects while also empowering them to become more informed and active citizens.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Let America Vote is&nbsp;now accepting applications for their fall internship and fellowship programs. They&nbsp;are looking for bright, energetic individuals who want to learn the nuts and bolts of how top-notch grassroots organizing works.</p>

<p><strong>To apply, please visit&nbsp;<a href="https://tinyurl.com/internsgalav" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://tinyurl.com/internsgalav</a>.</strong></p>

<p>You will learn the basics of how to build a grassroots field program and help elect candidates who will fight to support and protect our fundamental right to vote. From engaging in daily field activities to learning from seasoned campaign staff to hearing from a variety of high-profile political guest speakers; this internship is unlike any other in politics. By learning the basics of campaign and political organizing, we will not only elect candidates who stand up for democracy and voting rights in 2018, but teach everyone involved the skills necessary to organize in their communities and even run campaigns in 2018 and beyond.</p>

<p>Hours are very flexible, and the team here at Let America Vote is a lot of fun! No experience is necessary. You will walk out the door at the end of the internship knowing how to run a local field program, as well as having met some great friends.</p>

<p>Additionally, the Let America Vote offers a fellowship program if you&rsquo;re looking to be even more involved. With an expanded time commitment, fellows will also benefit from our Field Organizer Training Program, where they&rsquo;ll learn about grassroots organizing from a team of experts. This will prepare you to be even more proactive in your role, ensuring&nbsp;&nbsp;you can work effectively on future advocacy, political campaigns, and other modes of valuable civic engagement.</p>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
