Gain valuable political experience and help elect Democratic pro-choice women up and down the ticket! We offer internships during the spring, summer, and fall semesters in all of our departments. Interns have the opportunity to do substantive work, while gaining in-depth experience in the political sector.
In addition to daily work in their departments and attendance at staff events, interns participate in Lunch and Learn sessions, which gives them the opportunity to hear from varying levels of staff while learning about their professional history and gaining deeper knowledge about how all the departments at EMILYs List work.
Our interns leave EMILYs List ready for life on the campaign trail after attending our signature Change the World training that will equip each intern with skills for beginning a career in campaigns.
Interns are paid at a rate of $18.40 per hour.
Interns have the flexibility to opt for a fully remote or hybrid internship experience. Hybrid interns will mutually agree on a weekly schedule for coming into the office with their respective supervisor.
The internship application deadline is November 6, 2026. We will begin reviewing applications in November. If you are selected for an interview, you will be contacted directly. No calls or emails please.
