NCDP Organizing Department Intern

NCDP Organizing Department Intern

The North Carolina Democratic Party (NCDP) is seeking a motivated intern to join

our Organizing Department through November 2026. This is an opportunity to get

hands-on experience in grassroots political organizing, working directly with

NCDP staff to build volunteer networks, support voter contact programs, and

strengthen the Party’s presence in communities across North Carolina.

About the Role

Organizing interns will support the day-to-day work of the department, gaining

practical experience in the tools and tactics that power successful campaigns.

Interns will work closely with Regional Organizing Directors and staff in other

departments, and will have the chance to learn about the broader work of the

NCDP, including how the Party recruits and supports volunteers, coordinates

with county parties, and builds long-term organizing infrastructure. Interns will

also be invited to participate in trainings hosted by the NCDP alongside other

interns and fellows.

training volunteers on direct voter contact

Qualifications

• Strong written and oral communication skills
• Detail-oriented and comfortable managing multiple tasks
• Interest in grassroots organizing, campaigns, or political engagement
• Comfortable with (or willing to learn) tools like VAN and Google Workspace
• Previous volunteer or campaign experience is a plus, but not required
• Reliable transportation needed for in-person events, where applicable
