The internship program offers high school, undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to gain real world experience working in politics, human rights and grassroots organizing. Build your resume while working to end capital punishment in Ohio!
This program is flexible, giving interns the ability to choose which areas of OTSE’s work they are most interested in, while providing a solid background in all aspects of statewide efforts to end the death penalty. Focus areas include:
• Researching and drafting the 2009 and 2010 annual reports, which is a comprehensive view of Ohio’s system including geographical disparity, racial bias, innocence and cost.
• Assist with design and distribution of OTSE’s quarterly report to members and coalition partners.
• Providing outreach and educations to civic, religious and community groups.
• Tabling and petition drives at community events.
• Lobbying representatives on capital punishment.
• Supporting OTSE’s statewide campaigns including those for moratorium resolutions and key constituent groups.
Positions are available in Northeast and Southwest Ohio (Cleveland and Cincinnati areas). Scheduling is flexible and part time. This is an unpaid internship for 10-15 hours a week.
