DCCC Internship Program -- A Road to Your Future in Politics!

Are you looking for an opportunity to break into politics? Want to establish lasting connections and gain campaign experience? Would you like to work on behalf of a current or future Member of Congress?

The DCCC Internship Program is designed to give people substantial exposure to practical, campaign-style politics on a national level.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) is the official national Democratic campaign committee charged with electing Democrats to the U. S. House of Representatives. The DCCC recruits Democratic candidates and supports Democratic campaigns – both challengers and Democratic incumbent Members – with a variety of services including field operations, fundraising support, communications assistance, research support and management consulting. In addition, the DCCC’s Independent Expenditure supports these campaigns with television, radio and other voter contact efforts. The DCCC is supported by the contributions of individuals and organizations, along with Democratic Members, from throughout the country. We look for talented and hard-working campaign professionals who are committed to electing more Democrats and taking back the House majority.

Who are we looking for?

• Proven leaders in their communities who are committed to taking back the House
• Smart, energetic, and fun people who are interested in gaining experience and involvement in politics

What are the benefits of the DCCC Internship Program?

• An unprecedented opportunity to work day to day with top political operatives in the country who are passionate about winning back the House
• Receive first hand experience with how professional campaigns are run and how they function
• The opportunity to network with leaders in the field

The DCCC Internship Program will be offered on three different schedules:
