At She Votes, we understand that working for free is nearly impossible for most young women. Unfortunately, most government-related internships that are often crucial to forming a career in politics (think interns on Capitol Hill) are unpaid. That's why we created the She Votes Fellowship! Our She Votes Fellows are selected through a competitive application process and are given a stipend in order to make it possible to take an unpaid internship position.
