SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser, Melissa Evans, and
2006 Summer interns meet with Congresswoman Jean Schmidt (R-OH)

Intern Program Overview

The Susan B. Anthony List could not accomplish the work that it does without the invaluable help of our high school and college interns. Though the Susan B. Anthony List started with just one high school intern several years ago, we had over five high school and college interns in the summer of 2007. Our interns travel from near and far to join us in our fight to save the unborn. Most of our high school interns come from the local area and college interns have come to us from many different colleges and universities such as: Princeton University, Michigan State University, Marymount University, Franciscan University at Steubenville, James Madison University, Regent University, Catholic University, and the College of William and Mary. 

Over the years, we have developed and expanded the intern program by including special activities for our interns. These activities included traveling to some of the many historical sites of our wonderful capitol and meetings with prominent pro-life leaders.

On Capitol Hill, summer interns will get to meet with our Congresswomen.  During previous summers interns have met with Marilyn Musgrave (R-CO), Jean Schmidt (R-OH), and Cathy McMorris (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. The interns also visited the White House Old Executive Office Building to speak with Tim Goeglein, Special Assistant to the President for Public Liaison. In addition, Interns toured numerous historic buildings in our nation’s capital such as the U.S. Capitol, the National Archives, and the Pentagon.

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, along with initiative and a demonstrated willingness to learn.

The internship requires assisting in the day-to-day operations of our non-profit organization and requires administrative duties.

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.
