Job description

We are American Jews, deeply rooted in the story of our people and the history of our struggle for peace and justice. In our narrative, peace and justice are the birthright of Israelis, of Palestinians, and of all people.

Responsibilities — broadly, you'll be assisting with programs, communications, development, and advocacy work over the course of the semester. That might look like:

• Assisting with administrative work (data analysis, tracking NJN's media output and engagement numbers, sending thank-you notes and donation acknowledgments)
• Assisting with educational programming, including informational one-pagers, graphics, social media content, webinars, and PeaceCast, NJN's podcast
• Conducting research and helping pitch op-eds or blog posts for our website
• Assisting with protest and event planning as well as event communications

Note: This is only a sample list of responsibilities, and our needs may shift over time. We also encourage interns to bring their own passions to the table and are happy to work with interns to develop projects that excite them — this internship offers independent learning and research opportunities as well as professional skill development.

Ideally, you are a current student (juniors or seniors preferred) or recent graduate with:

• Excellent written and oral communication skills
• Demonstrated interest in Israeli-Palestinian peace and in American policy
• Demonstrated interest in civil rights and advocacy/organizing work
• Good organizational abilities and time-management skills
• Ability to quickly grasp new technical and administrative skills

The time commitment for the internship is 10 hours per week. The internship will take place from January through May (dates flexible). This is a paid position at the rate of $15/hour and is mostly remote, though DC candidates are preferred.
