The TurnUp Civics Remote Internship Program is Seeking Interns!
Key Information and Curriculum
GENERAL INTERNSHIP APPLICATION-
Introduction: Since our inception, which was motivated by the crisis of the 2020 pandemic and subsequent elections, we have engaged youth from around the country in our TurnUp remote Internship Program. We provide an experientially based program that empowers interns to become civically engaged in a responsible way. We believe that there is a strong relationship between education, inspiration, empowerment, and access that results in youth becoming civically engaged.
Young people from around the country have been trained in our multi-month program, and our average rating from all interns has been 4.9 stars.
Mission: For youth to have civic engagement accessible, and their democratic competency fostered. Since youth come at different stages of civic awareness, and as youth they may not be the ones completely in charge of their other responsibilities and schedules, we focus on accessibility by providing a differentiated learning path, rolling admission, rolling end dates of their choosing, and flexible hours in terms of both number and scheduling, and interns can start the first Monday of every month all year around. This program is offered with no fees and no cost to all who apply.
Summary: Interns develop their civic literacy and democratic competency in a remote yet collaborative setting by participating in civic actions, voter turnout projects, performing targeted outreach, attending the TurnUp Speaker Series, doing civics and issue related research, writing and presenting, and participating in their weekly team meetings where they share their work and join discussions. All interns are expected to help with existing registration drives at their schools. We support their success in initiating and performing their own registration drives with permission granted from their schools. Upon completion, interns receive a TurnUp Certificate.
We foster youths’ professional development, creative potential, leadership ability, and social/emotional development, while emphasizing an increase in self-knowledge and confidence through our unique curriculum.
