| Description: |
The Marijuana Policy Project is hiring interns to work in our State Policies Department, ideally starting in January. These are unpaid, part-time internships, with class credit available. Interns work 16-20 hours per week and have the chance to play a responsible role in a successful nonprofit organization.
MPP’s State Policies Department is dedicated to reforming marijuana laws on the state level through direct lobbying and by inspiring lobbying at the grassroots level by individuals and allied organizations. The State Policies Intern will:
Format and post relevant news articles on each of MPP`s state Web pages;
Monitor news for marijuana-related articles;
Maintain MPP`s state Web pages;
Assist in improving and maintaining the department’s filing system;and
Miscellaneous projects and research as assigned.
Candidates should expect a fast-paced, professional environment and should have excellent oral and written communications skills, strong Internet research skills, and be meticulous, organized, and detail-oriented. The ideal candidate will also have an interest in learning about the legislative and policy-making process, excellent interpersonal skills, a professional demeanor, good research skills, and the ability to work independently.
With 40 staffers, more than 26,000 members, and 100,000 e-mail subscribers nationwide, MPP is the largest marijuana policy reform organization in the United States. MPP works to minimize the harm associated with marijuana -- both the consumption of marijuana and the laws that are intended to prohibit its use -- and believes that the greatest harm associated with marijuana is imprisonment.
Thank you for your interest.
