Fellowship Program – Dylan Fernandes for State Senate
The Dylan Fernandes for State Senate campaign is accepting applications for our Fellowship. Fellows will have the opportunity to work directly with our candidate, Dylan Fernandes, and campaign staff on a wide range of policy, political, fundraising, and organizing projects.
Fellows must have written and oral communication skills, excellent work ethic, a commitment to Democratic values and good governance, and a drive to win. A background in public and community service is a positive.
Fellows will develop valuable skills in event planning, communication, and grassroots organizing. Political campaigns provide a launching pad to careers in law, politics, government, marketing, and public relations.
Time commitment: ~15 hours per week
Duration: June – September (start and end dates flexible)
Fellows will be trained in and spend a good deal of their time in direct voter contact (door-knocking and phoning) but will also be involved in critical campaign projects.
