Mercer Votes Summer Intern
Help empower new students to become active participants in our democracy! The Center for Engaged Learning is recruiting a summer intern to assist with nonpartisan voter registration, voter education, and student outreach during summer orientation and Opening Day.
The selected intern(s) will staff the Mercer Votes table during summer orientation resource fairs, scheduled from 1:15–4:15 p.m. in Heritage Hall. Interns will help welcome incoming students and families, share nonpartisan voter registration and voting resources, encourage students to make a voting plan, and connect students with Mercer Votes opportunities for continued engagement.
In addition to summer orientation support, the intern(s) will assist with data collection and outreach tracking to help Mercer Votes evaluate the reach and effectiveness of its efforts. Responsibilities may include tracking student interactions, recording pledge-to-vote or voter registration interest, organizing sign-up information, and helping to summarize key takeaways from outreach events.
Intern(s) may also support Mercer Votes tabling during Opening Day, Mercer's first-year student move-in experience, by helping distribute voting information, answering basic questions, and encouraging new students to begin their Mercer experience with a commitment to civic participation. All work will be strictly nonpartisan and focused on reducing barriers to student voter registration, education, and turnout.
