Are YOU ready to help save the nation?
The federal government has expanded its power and jurisdiction far beyond what the Constitution intended it to be. The bureaucratic class in Washington rules with impunity. The debt is constantly growing and, most importantly, American citizens find themselves less and less free to govern themselves as individuals, families and states.
Needless to say, we have a problem, but that's where you come in.
We are seeking bright, innovative, and enthusiastic students who want a political experience that has a real stake in the future of the United States. We want students who would rather make a difference than be just another cog in the machine.
You will have real responsibilities and will be tasked with solving problems at the state, regional, and national level of our organization to press the movement closer and closer to fruition.
Additionally, Convention of States Action will work to invest its time and resources into your personal and professional development. This internship will strengthen your ability to strategize, research, manage projects, and communicate while educating you about history, politics, and grassroots activism.
Moreover, you can work for Convention of States anywhere: your school, a coffee shop, or the comfort of your own home. We endeavor to build intelligent students into prudent statesmen who will be prepared to be leaders in their day-to-day lives and in future political challenges inside and outside of our movement. Apply today!
