About League of Our Own Washington
League of Our Own Washington is a non-profit 501 (c) (4) organization dedicated to finding talented women who believe in limited government, fiscal responsibility, and free markets to run for office. We provide them with the tools, resources, training, and mentorship they need to be successful candidates and effective leaders.
While women make up 51% of the population in America, they account for only 31% of state legislative seats held across the country. Decades of research have shown that women govern differently and that difference matters. We are changing the status quo by building a statewide network of talented women who would make excellent elected officials (Prospects), men and women to find and recruit them (Scouts), successful women and men who can serve as mentors and provide guidance to them (Coaches), and others to support them through social media, volunteering, hosting events, and more (Fans).
As an organization, we are dedicated to building up and empowering people who want to make a difference, and that extends to our team of staff. We pride ourselves on our culture of positivity and learning. We look forward to welcoming a new intern to our team as we work hard to reach our goals.

Role
League of Our Own Washington is recruiting sophomores, juniors, and seniors in college and recent graduates who are interested in helping to recruit and train women to run for public office. The League is looking for an intern with strong written and verbal communication, attention to detail, organizational skills, and—most of all—a passion for our mission! Some of the roles and responsibilities include:
- Drafting emails and other communications materials
- Creating engaging social media content that supports our brand and increases awareness
- Testing systems and programs and providing feedback and recommendations
- Conducting important research and up-to-date analysis to ensure informed team decisions
- Regularly updating our database
- Other tasks to help support our mission as assigned by the Executive Director
A successful candidate will be someone who enjoys civic and political affairs, has a “can-do” attitude, is a fast learner, and can complete projects under short deadlines.
We prefer college students who are studying political science, communication, journalism, or other relevant subjects and have experience in a political office or campaigning. However, all majors are accepted and encouraged to apply.
