Student Internships

​

MCCL offers paid internship opportunities to college students to learn the fundamentals of educating and activating the grassroots to engage in the pro-life movement. Interns will:

​

• Learn to articulate and defend the pro-life position

• Work with the leaders of the pro-life movement in Minnesota

• Make a direct impact on saving the lives of the most vulnerable among us

• Gain first-hand experience in legislative action, political action, and educational action with grassroots membership

• Be involved in projects such as our Life Leadership Camp; outreach to our statewide network of pro-life chapters; research on current legislative, political, and educational initiatives; outreach to diverse demographic groups; developing and disseminating communications to reach new communities and members; and much, much more

 

Interns quickly become part of the departmental staff and become invaluable to the day-to-day operations. Learning about the pro-life movement and the hands-on experience MCCL provides are only part of our internship program. Interns often form long-lasting friendships and make invaluable connections while at MCCL.

​

Applicants must be self-starters with good communication skills. They must be able to balance multiple demands and work with shifting priorities and deadlines.
