Through this role, students can expect to develop their skills as public speakers, leaders, and civic engagement educators. OSU Votes Interns can expect to work an average of 5-8 hours per week which will include staff meetings, training sessions, administration, workshop facilitation, voter registration tabling, and other tasks as assigned.
If this seems like a good fit, we’d love for you to join our team. For more information or to apply, please visit: OSU Votes Intern Application Link.
