The Summer Internship Program serves to strengthen and develop skill sets for young political activists. Summer interns will have a unique chance to discover more about the way a political party operates and what they can do to develop their community through political involvement.

• Stakeholder relations
• Policy & strategy development
• Correspondence
• Policy & issue research
• Volunteer recruitment
• Online & website development/social media
• Branding development

Positions in the Party office are designed to provide youth with a genuine opportunity to gain first-hand experience in the day-to-day operations of a political party. Interns will obtain a unique hands-on experience by working in the office and out in the community, while building a valuable professional network and have opportunities to participate in, and help to organize, community outreach.

This is a paid internship, and salary will be discussed during interview. Hours may vary depending on office.

Please note that interns will not be provided compensation for accommodation or travel costs. Eligible applicants are Canadian citizens between the ages of 18 and 26 and members of the Liberal Party of Canada.
