SBA List 2009 Summer Interns, Office Manager, and Legislative Liaison,
meet with Congresswoman Cathy McMorris-Rodgers (R-WA)

Intern Program Overview

The Susan B. Anthony List could not accomplish the work that it does without the invaluable help of our student and post-graduate interns. Our interns travel from near and far to join us in our fight to save the unborn. Part-time Fall and Spring student interns come from local schools such as Georgetown University, George Washington University, American University, and Catholic University of America. Full-time and Summer interns have come to us from many colleges and universities all over the country such as: Princeton University, UC Berkley, Loyola Marymount, Michigan State University, Purdue University, Ave Maria University, Franciscan University at Steubenville, James Madison University, Regent University, and the College of William and Mary. 

Over the years, we have developed and expanded our intern program by including special activities and experiences that foster personal and professional growth for our interns. These activities include attending meetings and press conferences with prominent pro-life leaders and members of Congress. They are invited to various intern seminars and workshops where they can learn about government, policy, and related topics which they can bring back to their campuses or apply to their professional expertise. They have an opportunity to attend social gatherings to network and connect with other D.C. interns with whom they can share these experiences in our nation’s capitol.

On Capitol Hill, summer interns will get to meet with members of our Pro-Life Women’s Caucus.  During previous summers, interns have met with Marilyn Musgrave (R-CO), Jean Schmidt (R-OH), and Cathy McMorris-Rodgers (R-WA). These women shared their life stories and deep pro-life convictions with the students, encouraging them to continue their work in order to make a difference in the pro-life movement.


Intern Responsibilities

The Susan B. Anthony List expects interns to be self-starters with good communication skills. The ability to balance multiple demands and work with shifting priorities and deadlines is a must.

The interns are responsible for assisting in the day-to-day operations of our organization. Duties will be divided between typical daily administrative support and larger projects such as: event planning, fundraising, legislative and political research, drafting articles for our website, and other projects.

Ideal candidates will have an interest in non-profit advocacy work and pro-life politics.


How to Apply

Applications for paid internships during the spring and fall semesters are accepted on a rolling basis. The Susan B. Anthony List is also willing to work with students to gain college credit for their internship experience.

Interested students can send a resume and cover letter to the attention of Rebecca Herr at information@sba-list.org.  The best applicants will explain their interest in pro-life politics and what they hope to gain from an internship at the SBA List.
