Community Events Intern

The Community Events Intern contributes to ONC’s mission of providing nonpartisan news, opinions, and policy solutions by networking, planning, and hosting speaker series for ONC interns as well as the external community. This intern is also responsible for developing the College Campus Initiative at ONC which fosters conversations on college campuses that spotlight political tolerance and tangible solutions. This includes reaching out to and communicating with mentors in various fields, ONC advisors, college clubs, and college campuses. The Community Events intern will network and conduct outreach with potential speakers and schedule the logistical details of events.

This position is remote, with work primarily conducted over Zoom and Slack, so applicants must be comfortable coordinating in a remote environment and are expected to maintain a high level of communication.
