At Elevation Strategies interns play an integral role in contributing to the framework of our firm. We currently offer technical support to candidates in all five boroughs and in every level of local government through social media, field voter outreach, campaign power mapping, and other tailored needs to countless Democratic candidates. Interns learn how to use research skills to further understand the political landscape, network, engage, and influence the political sphere, as well as tackle challenges with creative solutions and detailed analysis. The work environment is team orientated as we exercise sharp communication and collaboration skills! Our interns do meaningful work, and are not just expected to file papers or go on coffee runs.

All Positions focus on multi-faceted immersion with the political process.
