CAMPAIGN INTERN

Job Title: Campaign Intern

Reports To: Deputy Campaign Manager

Compensation: $20 an hour up to 50 hours per month

Start Date: Rolling basis, as needed

Position Type: Part-time, through November 2026

Location: In-person only — based in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District. Interns are expected to work on-site at campaign headquarters and attend in-district events.

Interns will receive compensation at $20 an hour for up to 50 hours of time per month. The compensation is not tied to performance metrics or quotas rather it serves to make the internship more accessible.. The internship start date is offered on a rolling basis, and the position runs part-time through November 2026 or until academic or personal availability changes. The internship is voluntary and may be ended at any time by either the intern or the campaign.

If an intern wishes to receive academic credit, the campaign will cooperate with their school to complete required paperwork or evaluations. Interns will also have the option to complete short reflections about what they have learned during their time on the campaign.

Interns will receive hands-on learning in campaign operations, communications, field organizing, and community engagement. They will shadow staff, receive training, and take on tasks meant to build skills rather than perform duties that would otherwise require paid employees.

About the Campaign

We are building a people-powered campaign to elect Rear Admiral (Ret.) Eileen Laubacher to Congress and flip Colorado’s 4th Congressional District. Eileen is a national security leader, mom of five, and lifelong public servant who believes in service over partisanship and delivering real results for Colorado families. This is one of the top fundraising House races in the country — and we’re looking for motivated interns to help power this effort.

Campaign Interns play a hands-on role in supporting the day-to-day work of the campaign — from field organizing and event staffing to research, communications, and operations.
