(PORTLAND, MAINE) - The Maine Democratic Party's Victory 2008 Campaign is accepting applications for fall Campus Organizer Internships on every college and high school campus in the state of Maine.
Campus Organizer Interns will join Maine's unprecedented Democratic ground operation by working to get students involved in the 2008 election, helping to elect Barack Obama, Tom Allen, Chellie Pingree and Mike Michaud, as well as House and Senate candidates statewide. The organizers will work directly with one of our two Youth Coordinators to learn all the skills of grassroots organizing including: voter registration, volunteer recruitment and management, voter identification, campaign strategy, and get out the vote efforts.
For applications, go to: http://www.mainedems.org/youth.html or email Vanessa Macoy at vmacoy@mainedems.org with questions. The application process will last from July 15-August 15 and all candidates will receive an answer no earlier than August 16. After that date, applications will be considered on a rolling basis.
