Internships

The National Women's Political Caucus (NWPC) seeks dedicated, politically charged interns for work at the National office in Washington, DC.

Who We Are

The National Women’s Political Caucus is a bipartisan, multicultural grassroots organization dedicated to increasing women’s participation in the political field and creating a political power base designed to achieve equality for all women. Founded in 1971, the NWPC prides itself in increasing the number of pro-choice women elected and appointed into office every year. Through recruiting, training and financial donations, the NWPC provides support to women candidates running for all levels of office regardless of political affiliation. In addition, hundreds of state and local chapters reach out to women in communities across the country to better assist them in their dreams of being elected into office. The NWPC strives to break the glass ceiling, which restricts a woman’s ability to climb the political ladder, one crack at a time.
