Students for a New American Politics (SNAP) is proud to announce that it is now accepting applications for its 2010 Summer Fellowship Program from now until March 31, 2010. In every major election since 2006, SNAP has sent participants in its fellowship program to help campaigns for progressive candidates throughout the United States. In total, SNAP has sent forty students to help with the campaigns of over twenty endorsed candidates.
One student, who worked for the 2008 Al Franken (D-MN) campaign said of the program that “I was given real responsibilities from which I learned valuable skills,” and noted that she worked “directly underneath the Political Director” who asked her to take on a project of her own to help the campaign. Another student worked for the Tom Geoghegan (D-IL-5) campaign as a field organizer where, she said, she “gained invaluable experience” working as a full-time staff member for the campaign.
SNAP encourages all students interested in politics and campaigning to submit their applications for the fellowship program, where they will learn skills valuable campaign skills and meet like-minded individuals from across the country, all while doing their part to make a difference.
