This link is for the general posting for all NEA fall internships, but I'm specifically looking for fantastic media relations intern/interns to work on my team. NEA will be a major player in the Presidential election, so the chosen candidate(s) will have the opportunity to get a wealth of hands on experience. If you apply and are seeking to intern with the media relations team, let me know so I can flag for HR. Thanks!
