West End Strategy Team is accepting applications for part-time paid internship positions for the spring 2026 term (January-May) in our Washington, D.C. office. We welcome undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds to apply.

West End Strategy Team is a premier, full-service strategic communications firm focused on expanding social justice, racial and gender equity and human rights. We partner with clients to drive meaningful change through strategic communications, including earned media strategy, messaging, digital strategy and crisis communications.

Through our work with clients, we're promoting human and civil rights. We're advocating for reproductive rights. We're fighting against attacks on our democracy at home and around the world. We're opposing book bans that threaten the right to education in communities across the country, and we're pushing back against unconstitutional restrictions on voting access. We're working on the cutting-edge issues of the moment as we partner with leading organizations working to make our world a better place.

Interns based in the D.C.-area will preferably join the team on days when we're in person. Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays are considered in-office days, while Thursdays and Fridays are remote. Interns should be able to commit to joining the WEST team for roughly 20 hours per week.

WEST interns have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience working closely with organizations  focused on expanding social justice, racial and gender equity and human rights. Responsibilities include: writing and editing materials for distribution to the media, drafting opinion pieces, developing social media content, researching client organizations and their issue areas, researching target journalists and compiling media lists, conducting media outreach, aggregating news content, and various clerical duties. Through this experience, interns will cultivate a working knowledge of highly relevant political and advocacy organizations, the major issues of the day, and the media.

Each application must include the following: resume, cover letter and writing sample. Only complete applications will be considered. No phone calls, please.

The pay rate for this position is $17.95/hour. 

WEST is an equal opportunity employer and strongly encourages applications from people of color, persons with disabilities, women, and LGBTQ applicants. As we work to create change through strategic communications, we are also working to create change in our company and in our industry.
