Movement Labs Summer Internship 2025

At Movement Labs, our mission is to affordably and provably scale people power.

Join the Movement Labs Summer Internship for an exciting opportunity to gain skills and knowledge across the progressive electoral and digital organizing space, while contributing directly to our mission of stopping the worst of the Trump agenda and helping Democrats get elected up and down the ballot. We serve as an incubator for missing pieces of political infrastructure, combining data, technology and experimental methods to build power. We use peer-to-peer texting to help grassroots organizing, recruit candidates to run for office, and help those candidates win. We look for opportunities to work in red and rural areas, and with communities that have too often been ignored.

As a Movement Labs Summer Intern, you’ll gain hands-on experience on the cutting edge of electoral organizing. If you are eager, smart, and driven, want a career in the progressive movement space, and are ready to join our fast-paced team, apply to join our Summer Internship cohort!
