Civic Nation is currently seeking an intern for its We The Action ("WTA") initiative. The intern, reporting to the Associate Director of Partnerships, will provide key operational and administrative support to each of WTA's cross-cutting functions. This is an exciting position for someone who is detail-oriented and driven and wants to have an impactful role in furthering the mission of WTA.
OVERVIEW OF WE THE ACTION
WTA is a digital platform that makes it easy for lawyers to volunteer for critical, impactful—and often urgent—legal needs posted by WTA's nonprofit partners. Launched after the 2016 election, WTA engages and mobilizes the legal community toward the most pressing issues of the day. Lawyers sign up for free at WTA's website, browse projects posted by nonprofit partners, and volunteer for projects that interest them.
Our community of more than 40,000 lawyers has donated in excess of $100 million in free legal services since our inception. Our lawyers impact the most pressing issues of the day: fair elections, civil rights, immigration, racial justice, gender equity, and many more. We support more than 400 nonprofit partners nationwide, including the ACLU, American Constitution Society, Fair Fight Action, the Immigration Justice Campaign, and the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights.
ABOUT CIVIC NATION
Civic Nation serves as a mobilization hub at the intersection of creative communications, community organizing, narrative and culture change strategies, and high-level stakeholder engagement. At Civic Nation we house some of the most innovative campaigns organizing for progress across the country including It's On Us, Made to Save, ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge, End Rape on Campus, The United State of Women, and When We All Vote, Co-chaired by Michelle Obama.
Civic Nation also partners with some of the country's most influential voices, brands, organizations, and institutions, and brings together a collection of leading talent with deep expertise in their individual issue area and a collective passion for civic engagement.
