This is an unpaid, part-time position with flexible hours involving a mix of mostly work at home and several hours one or two days a week at the Capitol from Nov 6, 2024 to May 15, 2025. Prefer political science, law, or social justice students.

Are you sick of Corporations controlling our government?

Congress is broken and we can fix this problem ourselves.

Students like yourself, one per State capital across the country, are working toward getting Corporations out of our government and many are getting school credit for it.

If you ever thought about being a State Legislator or member of Congress, this is the best kind of on-the-job training. Or if you just want to see how your State government works, this is a rare opportunity for you.

Don't worry if you are busy campaigning for the November 2024 election. You are exactly who we want. Our work does not start until the day after the election and ends in May.

Should have the following skills:

  1. good communication skills
  2. like meeting new people
  3. organizing skills
  4. leadership skills

Should be able to perform the following duties for ProjectLeapfrog dot org:
