*Interested in a Winter/Spring internship at ICPR? Now's your chance!
ICPR is now taking applications for the Winter/Spring internship session. Interns play an integral role at ICPR. Our small staff size offers interns the opportunity to make meaningful contributions and gain experiences in a variety of areas. Interns at ICPR have assisted with essential research projects on voter guides, political contributors and judicial independence.
The ideal candidate will have an understanding of the political process and an interest in Illinois politics. Candidates should possess excellent research, writing and interpersonal skills. For the full internship description and more information visit our Internship page.
Deadline to apply for this internship is December 9th. Email Nelly@ilcampaign.org for more information.
