State Senator Daniel Squadron Seeks Summer Interns-New York

State Senator Daniel Squadron seeks student interns for his Manhattan Office. Senator Squadron is an aggressive champion of reform in Albany, affordable housing in New York City, a top-notch education system, investment in environmentally friendly transportation and full marriage equality, among other priorities. At 34, he is the second-youngest member of the New York State Senate. His district includes Lower Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn.

Each student intern in Senator Squadron’s office will work closely a member of his office staff on legislative research, scheduling, communications and media, correspondence, event planning and office management. Students will be exposed to various components of the Senate office, will attend hearings and meetings, and will participate in planning and strategy discussions with Senate staff and outside advocates, and participate in a large scale, data-driven group research project. Senator Squadron’s district offices are located at 250 Broadway in Manhattan (near City Hall) and in Brooklyn Borough Hall.

Note that while the internship is unpaid, we will happily accommodate students who seek to gain credit or outside funding.

Internships are unpaid and students are expected to work 10-15 hours weekly; students who commit more time will be given greater responsibility. A successful candidate is a self-starter who will be able to work at least three days per week, has strong writing, communicating and organizational skills, as well as a passion for government. Knowledge of or connections to the 26th Senate District are a plus.
