Students in the Washington, DC area, as well as especially interested parties elsewhere, are encouraged to contact DRCNet regarding the possibility of internships at DRCNet this semester. We are planning a major push in the Higher Education Act Reform Campaign (http://www.raiseyourvoice.com), seeking to repeal the law that strips drug offenders of their eligibility for college financial aid.

This is a high-profile, aggressive campaign, representing a major opportunity for the drug policy reform movement to influence federal policy and for young people to gain valuable experience on an exciting project. We will also consider options for working on other DRCNet projects if you have special skills to bring to bear on them, such as writing or research for this newsletter, cataloguing racial profiling documents or assisting with legislative action alerts. Our focus, however, is the Higher Education Act Campaign.

Internships are unpaid, but are a great way to bring yourself to the attention of possible future employers in drug policy reform. At least four past DRCNet interns or volunteers have moved on to exciting jobs in the movement.

Please contact us at [email protected] and include a resume and/or any other information about your skills or experience or other relevant information, and a short statement of why you are interested in interning at DRCNet, as well as contact information and dates of availability.
