Be a part of building the grassroots movement to make Texas count!
Battleground Texas Fall Fellows are a crucial part of our mission to make Texas elections competitive again. The goal of the fellowship is to provide educational opportunities for Texans by teaching them to organize their communities. During this exciting Presidential election year, this work has never been more important.
What We’re Looking For – Fellows
The ideal candidate is someone who is excited about electing progressives in Texas and ready to learn how to do it. Fellows are expected to actively participate in voter registration drives, phone banks, and volunteer-led meetings. It is vital that candidates are self-starters, have a passion for their work, are solution-oriented and ready to work with diverse groups of people. Our Fellows come from a variety of backgrounds, but all have a passion and commitment to making change.
Fellows will organize in their home communities, so we encourage you to apply no matter where in Texas you live. The position is unpaid and Fellows will work a minimum of 15 hours a week.
What We’re Looking For – Headquarters Interns
While almost all Fellows will work in the field (where change is made!), Battleground Texas will have a limited number of intern positions available. Under the supervision of headquarters staff, interns will learn skills and tools to provide administrative support to staff and volunteers in the field.
Interns will work a minimum of 15 hours a week and will be located in Austin. This internship is unpaid, is primarily for educational purposes, and is not expected to lead to an offer of permanent employment.
