Job Description

314 Action is a grassroots community powered by over 400,000 donors working to elect scientists and other STEM candidates who will use science and facts to address some of our most pressing issues like climate change and health care.

Since its inception in 2016, 314 has quickly become a leader nationally with its unique focus on candidate recruitment and early-stage candidate support. In 2020, we helped flip U.S. Senate seats in Arizona and Colorado by drafting Capt. Mark Kelly and former Gov. John Hickenlooper to successfully run for office. In the 2022 cycle, we recruited and helped elect Rep Melanie Stansbury (NM-02) in a special election as well as Reps-elect Dr. Yadira Caraveo (CO-08) and Eric Sorensen (IL-17).

In total over 225 of our endorsed STEM candidates won their elections at all levels of the ballot in 2022, including 58 non-incumbents. We funded over $6 million towards our endorsed STEM candidates campaigns across 46 states at all levels of the ballot from school boards to US Senate. 74% of our 2022 endorsed STEM candidates identify as women, people of color, or LGBTQ+.

We are accepting applications for Spring 2023 internships with a time commitment of 20-40 hours a week. 314's Spring Interns are hired on a rolling basis for approximately 3 months from their expected start date. All interns must live in or relocate to the DC area (including Maryland and Virginia) for the duration of the internship. Internships are paid $17/hour and we are happy to work with interns to secure academic credit for their work. Interns will work a hybrid office schedule and are expected to come in person to the office located in Gallery Place for part of their internship. A transit benefit is available for interns as they report to the DC office.

This internship is perfect for recent graduates or current students who are interested in getting experience with a national political organization or potentially working on campaigns.
