GLEN CARBON — State Senator Erica Harriss is announcing the launch of her campaign internship program, providing students and young professionals with an opportunity to gain firsthand experience in public service, grassroots organizing, communications, and community engagement while helping build a stronger future for the Metro East.
“Every successful campaign begins with grassroots efforts – neighbors talking to neighbors, volunteers giving their time, and citizens stepping up to make a difference,” said Senator Harriss. “Public service starts at the local level, and I’m excited to work with interns who share a passion for serving their communities. Together, we’re building the foundation needed to continue delivering results for the Metro East and earn the opportunity to keep fighting for our region in Springfield.”
Interns will work alongside campaign staff and volunteers in areas including voter outreach, community engagement, event planning, digital communications, and campaign operations.
The internship program is open to high school students, college students, recent graduates, and community members interested in gaining experience in public service and civic engagement. Flexible schedules are available.
