Gen Z Advisory Board Intern

Our democracy is facing a grave threat today. Young people have more power to defend it than they may realize — and getting them to the polls is one component of defeating the MAGA agenda.

​

We're running targeted communications for the 2026 midterms — focused specifically on 18–26-year-olds in swing districts. Our goal is simple: motivate turnout. Not lectures on civics. Not changing minds. Just speaking honestly to young people in a way that lands.

 

To do that well, we need to hear from you!

​

About the role

Commitment is flexible. At minimum, we're asking for regular attendance of sessions reviewing messaging, materials, and communications – and sharing your feedback.

​

At maximum, you could be a core part of the operation.

​

Potential projects (subject to your skills and interests) may include:

• Messaging feedback: Review and react to campaign materials — ads, copy, social posts — and tell us what's cringe, what hits, and what's missing entirely

• Constituent outreach: Text or talk directly with young voters in your area

• Content creation: Make influencer-style videos or social content that speaks authentically to your peers

• Data analysis: Help us understand what's working and why

• Campus organizing: Mobilize your own networks and communities

• Strategy input: Sit in on planning discussions and shape how we approach your demographic

 

Why join?

• Real influence. We're not hiring you to get coffee — your perspective will shape how we communicate with an entire generation

• Work alongside experienced political strategists, technologists, and communicators

• Build skills in messaging, organizing, and digital campaigning

• Be part of something that matters in a consequential election cycle

 

Who we're looking for

We want a diverse advisory board — across political backgrounds, economic experiences, racial and cultural identities, geographies. You don't need to agree with us on everything. You need to know your generation.

• If you’re dialed in to politics and current events, registered to vote on your 18th birthday, we want to talk to you.

• If you don’t understand why anyone would bother to vote, we want to talk to you, too.

 

A few markers we look for:

• You have strong opinions about how young people are (and aren't) talked to by campaigns

• You're plugged into your community — online, on campus, or IRL

• You say what you think, even when it's uncomfortable

• You're a natural communicator — in person, in writing, or on camera

 

Logistics

Flexible hours and timeline — designed around a student or early-career schedule. Remote-first with occasional virtual meetings. Open to undergrad and recent grads. Advisory board is unpaid; project work will carry competitive compensation.
