Baltimore County Council candidate Paul D. Dongarra is looking for interns to help support him in his campaign efforts. He is running for an open seat for the Baltimore County Council in district one.

Intern duties may include:

● Developing Campaign Literature including: website content, print material, phone banking and canvasser scripts.

● Voter registration with the goal of increasing voter turnout from 2018 gubernatorial campaign.

● Interfacing with Campaign Platform to develop robust voter identification program (analyzing voter data to identify individuals most likely to vote and identifying issues of interest to them)

● Analysis of Precinct information from previous council races to determine best voter outreach strategies

There are many other responsibilities that this internship includes. These responsibilities and further information about how to apply for the internship can be seen on the pdf attached to this post. The internship is unpaid. However, I would like to remind you of the following opportunity regarding obtaining financial support for unpaid internships.

Whether you have already accepted an unpaid summer position OR are planning to obtain one, we encourage you to apply now for a competitive financial stipend through UMBC's Student Internship & Service Fund! This fund is co-sponsored by the Career Center and Shriver Center, and is made possible by the generous support of our alumni, campus and community members.
