American Progress has an opening for a summer 2024 intern on the Communications department’s Digital Strategy team. The Digital Strategy team collaborates with teams and individuals throughout the organization to increase American Progress’ reach, engagement, and impact in order to improve the lives of all Americans. Working with experts in policy, communications, government affairs, and development, the team helps amplify efforts through digital communications and technology to raise awareness of American Progress with strategic audiences and build relationships with progressive allies. The intern will have the opportunity to work on all aspects of digital strategy and communications—including audience development, content strategy, technology development, and the many disciplines that fall in between—to learn many of the basic skills it takes to work at a progressive nonprofit. Ideal candidates will have a strong interest in the intersection of policy and digital communications. The intern’s work will focus on direct collaboration with and support of policy team initiatives—where American Progress moves from addressing challenges to creating impact.
