ActBlue seeks Summer 2017 Interns!
Lauren Schulman
At ActBlue, we build and power the premier online fundraising platform for Democratic campaigns, progressive organizations, and nonprofits working to create a better future. We put power in the hands of small-dollar donors and make giving online as easy as possible. And we work with thousands of groups -- from presidential candidates to environmental organizations to local school board members.
The most rewarding part? Our work has led to a transformation of the power structures in this country. It takes all types to make ActBlue go, from political junkies to number whizzes to designers and writers. We pride ourselves on working hard as a small team to create big change. And we’re looking for more great people to join us.
The Intern Team’s role is to serve as the front line of support. Interns act as the chief brand ambassadors to ActBlue’s many thousands of donors and campaign and organization users. Join us for an exciting summer as we lay the groundwork for the 2018 midterm elections and continue to expand the work of ActBlue Charities in the charitable giving space!

Tackling special projects assigned by the Compliance, Marketing, Outreach, or Operations teams
Key qualities we’re looking for:
Interest in electoral politics and powering Democratic candidates to victory
Enthusiasm for using technology to bring about change
Excellent communication skills, and a passion for helping people
Exceptional attention to detail and organizational skills
Willingness to ask questions
Solution-oriented problem solving
Sense of humor!
