• Safeguard ONC's nonpartisan positioning and branding

• Coordinate with other teams, such as Media & Marketing, for opportunities to do joint projects

 

This is an unpaid internship

 

 

 

Qualifications



WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• Writing or editing experience in any setting: professional, academic, student publication, or news organization

• Ability to edit for argument and structure, in addition to grammar and style
