Public Relations(PR) Internship

Company Description

• OUR NATIONAL CONVERSATION (OurNationalConversation.org, or ONC
• for short) is a nonpartisan political conversation site devoted to balanced
• and civil conversations designed to make America a better country.
• Republicans, Democrats and Independents –all are all welcome at ONC.
• Our motto: “less hate, more debate.”
• We are largely powered by Gen Z students – America’s future leaders – who
• produce articles, events, podcasts and more. Experienced professionals
• mentor our students.
• Though many applaud our mission, OUR NATIONAL CONVERSATION is not
• well-known.
• It’s time to change that.

Job Description

• We seek 3-4 student PR, communication or journalism majors to conduct
• outreach to legacy media outlets, social media influencers, the academic
• community, podcasters, elected officials, celebrities and more.
• There is no pay at this time. That said, you WILL get excellent hands-on
• experience and the chance to really build your resume. In addition to PR
• and event management, if you want to write articles, appear on our
• podcasts, post on our social media channels or help with video and podcast
• production, all that is possible.
• What we really seek is interns who WANT to take this on; we have a “can
• do, will do” culture that encourages – requires, really – active participation.
• We’d rather take someone with less experience and the right attitude than
• someone with a stellar resume who is ho-hum about this project. ONC is for
• true believers who want to make a difference.
• Be ready to commit to four to 10 hours a week. We are completely remote
• and use Slack, Google Drive and Zoom to communicate. There are two,
• one-hour mandatory meetings each week. We operate on a semester basis;
• if you can commit to at least two or three semesters, that’s a big plus.
• Please send a 2-4 paragraph cover letter along with a resume. Tell us “Why
• you?” – and why ONC appeals.
• We look forward to hearing from you
