Programs & Research Intern

The MCSW seeks responsible, conscientious, and proactive individuals with a sincere interest in policy, social justice, civic engagement, and general legislative issues that impact all women and girls. Applicants should demonstrate strong writing and organizational skills, be willing to take initiative on new assignments, and be able to work well both autonomously and in a group setting. Applicants should be motivated, open-minded, and have a positive attitude towards others. While interns are encouraged to suggest which position they are interested in, they will not be limited to a particular area, as many of our tasks are collaborative. All interns are required to attend weekly staff meetings, attend events as needed, and check in with their direct supervisor regularly.   

Responsibilities include:

• Conducting research on various issues affecting the status of all women and girls in Massachusetts
• Tying in studies to reports, organize future events that highlight salient issues 
• Collaborate with the Program & Planning Committee and support commission activities 
• Assist in report development and support the coordination of programs/events
• Attend and provide minutes from coalition and advocacy group meetings as needed
