To The Contrary also has unpaid interns that work with our small, but energetic staff in Washington. While the internship is unpaid, interns have the opportunity to: interview Senators, Congresswomen and other prominent female figures; produce videotaped packages; assist in writing on-air scripts; book panelists and guests; develop show topics; and help maintain the website. Our interns have strong communications skills, are willing to work in a small office in downtown Washington, and are able to dedicate 10-15 hours a week. Applications are accepted for the fall/winter, spring and summer semesters. If interested, please email a resume and letter of introduction to Cari Stein.
