Skinner for Congress Needs Interns/Volunteers!

I got this e-mail, and it looks like a great opportunity. Figured I would pass it along:

The Skinner for Congress team is looking for full-time and part-time
interns for the Finance, Political/Field and Communications
departments. Our preferred goal is to bring aboard ten (10) full-time
interns who will be asked to do more than just answer phones and stuff
envelopes (although you will do that too).

These interns will be assigned and trained in the respective
departments based on their availability of time and their interests.

Finance – (2) Working with the Finance Director to implement and
support all aspects of our finance plan including Internet, Events,
Direct Donor and Mail. The positions are a great way to learn the
fast paced management of finances which are skills good for any other
profession.

Communications – (2) Working directly with the Campaign Manager in the
areas of mainstream media as well as internet and blog communication
and outreach. These interns must posses strong writing skills and
working knowledge of surfing internet news and blog websites. They
must also demonstrate an ability to monitor ongoing and breaking news
and bring those to the campaign manager with ideas of how to use them
to advance the campaign.

Political/Field – (6) These interns will work directly with the
Campaign Manager and the Field Director in an aggressive political
leadership outreach program. These individuals will be trained and
assigned to a specific role within the department and will be required
to engage in public events and activities of a political and community
nature on behalf of the campaign.
