Description:
The WCF Political Programs Fellows will work with the Political Director and Programs Manager to build on WCF’s She Should Run program, WCF PAC’s current and past endorsements and WCF Foundation’s research projects. The fellows will assist with She Should Run marketing and alumnae services operations, track candidate progress, build profiles of newly endorsed candidates and manage the creation of bi-weekly newsletters. To qualify, candidates should have a high level interest in politics, strong research skills and exceptional writing skills.
WCF, founded in 1974, is the only non-partisan political venture capitalist organization supporting women leaders at all levels of office, during the earliest stages of their public life. By focusing on the woman, not only the race, WCF provides women candidates the personalized care and tools they need throughout their political careers. WCF is dedicated to advancing the political participation and leadership of women who support reproductive health choices for all. We are building a national network of women voters, donors, and activists to ensure women’s voices are heard. Through our affiliated political action committee, WCF PAC, we provide candidate endorsements early, when the need for support is greatest. Our sister organization, WCF Foundation, produces original research relevant to women in politics to help women build the skills and infrastructure they need to become more effective leaders in public life.
