Announcing 2011 Spring Internship Opportunities! Citizens
In
Charge
Foundation,
a 501(c)3
non
‐profit
organization,
is
currently
accepting
applications
for
2011 internships. We are looking for undergraduates, grad students and recent grads from all majors as
well as law students.
Citizens in Charge Foundation (CICF) works to protect and expand the processes of initiative,
referendum and recall in the 26 states where citizens currently have those rights, as well as bring those
rights to the 24 states where citizens are denied them. The Foundation is non‐partisan and does not
support or oppose any particular initiatives, referendums or recall efforts unless they deal with the
accessibility of the process to average citizens in which case we advocate for accessibility.
The Foundation is seeking to fill 1 intern position in our headquarters located in Woodbridge, Virginia –
approximately 25 miles south of Washington, DC. We are also seeking to fill up to 3 virtual intern
positions; these
interns
may
be
located
anywhere
in
the
United
States
and
will
work
remotely
via
the
internet and phone.
Interns will work between 1‐‐30 hours per week. Hours and program length are flexible and we will work
to accommodate student’s academic and personal schedule.
Interns will follow legislation related to the ballot initiative and referendum (I&R) process in state
legislatures and local governments throughout the country. Internships will also include a variety of
research and writing projects and will provide valuable experience working in a fast‐paced environment
with real time public policy. Applicants should have excellent verbal and written communications skills,
pay special attention to detail and organization, and possess the ability to use Microsoft Office products
and the
internet
proficiently.
Duties will include, but are not limited to:
• Tracking legislation and litigation concerning initiative, referendum and recall nationwide
• Tracking initiatives and recall efforts throughout the country
• Utilizing new media to inform citizens about initiative, referendum and recall
• Researching campaign finance data and laws
• Occasionally traveling into the field to capture events on video
• General clerical and/or office duties

Foundation and describing any relevant experience to Executive Director Amanda Kathryn Roman at
