<< Back to Careers

Vot-ER is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization working to integrate civic engagement into healthcare. We develop nonpartisan civic engagement tools and programs for every corner of the healthcare system—from private practitioners to medical schools to hospitals. Our work is driven by a community of health care professionals, organizers, clinical students, and technologists united by a common vision: healthy communities powered by inclusive democracy. Together, we’ve expanded Vot-ER programs into over 700 hospitals and clinics and helped more than 75,000 Americans prepare to vote. And we’re just getting started.

Job Description:

Launched in 2020, Vot-ER has scaled rapidly over the last few years, now with 30,000 participating healthcare providers, over 700 hospitals, and a range of other partners. Our work in 2023 will lay the groundwork for what Vot-ER looks like for years to come.

Vot-ER has a robust paid internship program that helps undergraduates meet leaders in the fields of democracy and health, work with strong mentors, and build new skills. Note that this is a remote internship for undergraduate students.

You have one (or more) of the following superpowers:

  • Helping people and communities build plans and turn them into votes and power, especially in GA, FL, AZ, WI, MI, or NC
  • Project management and coordinating complex logistics
  • Data analysis or software development

 

How you enjoy showing up:

  • Your professional goals or personal experiences have a strong link to either health, democracy, behavioral economics, policy, or politics (or more than one of these areas)
  • You are self-directed and take initiative to find places where you can improve our work
  • You enjoy being a part of a diverse team that has a strong sense of community
  • You enjoy the fast pace of an innovative startup
  • You are well-organized and respond in a timely manner on email, Slack, and text
