Tenth Dems Accepting Applications for Internships
Do you have progressive values and are looking for a summer internship that will make a difference? The Illinois Tenth Congressional District Democrats (Tenth Dems) is now accepting applications for its Summer 2025 Internship Program. The internship is a substantive program designed for high school, college, graduate, and law students seeking an opportunity to become deeply engaged in the political process.
Tenth Dems is a grassroots political organization that helps mobilize voters and activists throughout the 10th Congressional District. Tenth Dems interns have staffed issue forums and events for elected officials and candidates up and down the ballot, worked on campaigns, and conducted research. We help build the Democratic infrastructure to elect Democrats at all levels of government. Interns may choose to complete general internships or specialize in areas such as media, field, communications, technology, volunteer management, and political outreach. Internships are unpaid, educational positions; however, academic credit is often available.
Residency in the 10th Congressional District is not required, but applicants must have an interest in electing Democrats in this area and devote a minimum of 16 hours per week to the internship during the summer. Applicants should submit a brief paragraph explaining why they would like to be part of the program, along with a resume summarizing their educational background and activities. Neither needs to be formal. To apply or request more information, email us at info@tenthdems.org.
