----------------------------------
Field Department Internships

The Field Department of the ACLU of Washington (ACLU-WA) coordinates and 
encourages the activism of ACLU members statewide to promote and protect civil 
liberties. Activism occurs through the ACLU-WA chapters, student clubs, the 
e-mail activist network, and members. Our activities to advance an issue 
include leafleting, organizing phone banks, staffing information tables, and 
providing resources to community groups. Field Interns are utilized year-round 
to assist the Field Department in achieving its goals.

The minimum time commitment for academic year interns is one quarter. Average 
hours per week are 12-20 hours with flexibility for actual days worked. All 
positions are unpaid; interns are encouraged to earn credit for their time, but 
volunteers are welcome as well. 
Responsibilities include:

·         Research for local campaigns and projects

·         Volunteer coordination for various campaigns and chapter activities

·         Basic office responsibilities such as mailings, database entry, 
photocopying, filing, etc.

·         Phone banking and outreach to targeted groups

Experience in community organizing or grassroots organizations is highly 
recommended.

Located in Pioneer Square in downtown Seattle, the ACLU-WA office is a friendly 
and fun place to work. Internships with the Field Department offer you a chance 
to make a difference while you build your experience and resume.

To apply, please mail or email a resume, writing sample and cover letter, to
